[Quick transmigration + transmigrate into a book + no romance + clear-eyed realism + trope subversion + System]
Yan Jiu is famous in the quick-transmigration world for being a master of slacking off.
If she can lie down, she never stands; if she can goof off, she never works.
The Quick-Transmigration Bureau decides this attitude doesn’t align with its values of ambition and hard work, so it assigns her a “Background Character System.” As a background character, she must influence the protagonists’ fates.
In World One, she becomes the domineering CEO’s personal doctor.
The CEO, holding a delicate flower with a scraped finger in his arms, tells her to save her immediately.
Yan Jiu spots the real female lead bleeding profusely nearby and slaps a Band-Aid right over the CEO’s mouth.
System: You need to get them together.
In World Two, she becomes the sickly Third Prince’s hidden bodyguard.
She thinks she’ll be able to quietly watch the drama unfold, but then the female lead is framed and thrown into prison. The second male lead comes to break her out, and the Third Prince intercepts them in the middle of the night.
This bystander who just wanted to watch the show somehow gets roped into being their romance bodyguard.
System: You need to protect them.
In World Three, the System finally takes pity on her and gives her the identity of a noblewoman.
She’s rich, has plenty of free time, and has no missions. She even comes with an all-purpose butler who can groom her, cook, and tutor her in anything.
Yan Jiu is moved to tears. “At last, I can lie flat, right?”
That is, until the butler brings in more than a dozen brick-thick required reading books before the school year begins. “Miss, these are your entrance assignments.”
System: You need to graduate successfully.
…
Yan Jiu comes to understand one thing.
Being a background character means doing the protagonists’ work, earning a side character’s points, and suffering a cannon fodder’s fate.
But then again, when those points hit her account, they really are sweet.
Very interesting! There is no high score for cp, and Yan Jiu has a light personality but also has a sense of life, not abstract, but the kind of "light" that can attract you, especially like a bowl of tea, which gives me the feeling of fresh fragrance and endless aftertaste. The interaction with the rabbit butler is also very good, but it is the kind without cp! It's super cool, not too much but just the right amount! Rabbit Butler is like a single arrow and it's delicious. Moreover, Yan Jiubao cares about herbivores and won't look down on herbivores. Oh my, it's the kind of "beauty" that I can't describe. I highly recommend it. It's a very delicious novel.
