[Quick Transmigration + No Romance + Male Lead + One-Sided Crushes + Overactive Imaginations + Third Person]
[Ping! System notification: Your henchman's main quest has begun. Host, play the villain's henchman well, try your best to get yourself killed, and move the plot along!]
Shen Qingyi, an outstanding employee of the Space-Time Administration, has always lived by the motto: "As long as I get paid, I'll play any villain." He takes his work very seriously.
In the first world, a court intrigue setting, he becomes the regent everyone wants dead. He withholds military pay, oppresses the young emperor, and monopolizes power, all while waiting to retire gloriously by drinking a cup of poisoned wine from the emperor.
But just as he's about to wrap up his role in peace, the young emperor cries, "Uncle, I was wrong."
The great general also kneels by the bed, his voice trembling: "You were the one who sent those provisions for the hundred thousand troops, weren't you?"
Wait, why are you main characters making such wild assumptions?!
He thinks the protagonists will hate him sooner or later, but they all read way too much into everything. His coldness is actually restraint, his schemes are for a good reason, and his wish to die is a noble sacrifice. Shen Qingyi is numb to it: If making up stories makes you happy, go ahead.
There are also worlds featuring a vicious young lord at an aristocratic academy, an immortal cultivator's demon lord, an evil scientist in the apocalypse, a traitor in an interstellar empire, and more. He diligently follows the plot and gets himself killed, while the protagonist group keeps imagining things.
PS: Angsty, thrilling melodrama, with everyone harboring a one-sided crush. The male lead Shen Qingyi has no feelings at all. He's just a ridiculous wild man.
