Shen Luxi, an utterly ordinary web-novel editor, dies from overwork after staying up all night reviewing manuscripts and gets bound to the “Background Character Comeback System.”
The System tells him: You’re about to transmigrate into various harem novels where everyone loves the protagonist. You’ll become the background character who gets trampled by the protagonist and dies without a body left behind. Your mission: get to every key love interest in each world before the protagonist does, win them over, and rewrite your fate.
Shen Luxi flips through the scripts: the domineering CEO’s substitute lover, a useless Beta in an ABO world, a burden in the apocalypse, a cultivator with a trash spirit root…
He laughs. “So I’m supposed to steal one universally adored heartthrob from another?”
System: …Pretty much.
Shen Luxi straightens his tie and gives his reflection a perfect smile.
