What Act Are We Putting On Today?

*

The NPCs of the Quick Transmigration Bureau receive a new assignment. They must enter different kinds of taboo romance novels, play their cuckolded roles in each world, and fill in the missing parts of the plot.

Some are the sleeping husbands in stories about stealing another man's wife.

Some are the impotent older brothers in stories of the "Sister-in-law, Open the Door, It's Your Brother" variety.

Some are the husbands who neglect their young wives and the good-for-nothing sons in father-in-law and daughter-in-law stories.

Some are the absent, deadbeat fathers in stories about stepmothers.

The NPCs diligently play their roles just to complete their missions, but they never expected things to go a little wrong. Why doesn't the protagonist gong in each world follow the plot?

[World One]

Dark-skinned, flashy, cool gong x sharp-tongued but physically honest, slightly sickly shou

Shao Xin x Shen Jing

Shao Xin transmigrates into a story about stealing another man's wife.

In the original, he is the shou protagonist's domineering-at-home husband and the gong protagonist's long-lost accomplice. After a reunion, he and the gong protagonist reconnect. Through him, the gong protagonist meets the shou protagonist, who has suffered domestic abuse, and feels sorry for him. Under the gong protagonist's relentless advances, the shou protagonist gradually gives in, and the two begin a nonstop stream of censored bedroom scenes.

His job is to move the plot along and play his part in their games, like staying late at work to provide a place, or pretending to be asleep to make things more exciting.

Shao Xin thinks this is easy.

But he gradually realizes something is off. Why does the gong protagonist look ready to devour him every time he gives the two of them time and space?

[World Two]

Overworked family-man beta gong x short-tempered, cool younger alpha shou

Xia Guanyi x Xia Baifei

Xia Guanyi transmigrates into an ABO younger brother and sister-in-law story.

He is both the shou protagonist's impotent boyfriend and the gong protagonist's sworn-enemy adoptive younger brother.

To complete his mission, Xia Guanyi goes into full wingman mode. When the shou protagonist asks him to pick him up after work, he immediately forwards the message to the gong protagonist. When the shou protagonist gets a cold and acts cute, he turns around and urges the gong protagonist to bring medicine. When he catches the two alone in a room, he thoughtfully locks the door.

Just as the gong and shou protagonists grow closer thanks to his efforts, and he even accidentally stumbles upon the iconic scene of the gong protagonist pinning the shou protagonist against the wall, Xia Guanyi is congratulating himself on how smoothly the plot is going, until...

Shou protagonist: Xia Baifei, you can't treat me like this. I'm your sister-in-law!

Gong protagonist: To hell with that, I'm the one who's your sister-in-law!
