The Male Lead Is Reborn Again [Quick Transmigration]

Xie Ci is a tasker in the cannon fodder division of the quick transmigration bureau. His day-to-day job is to play all kinds of cannon fodder characters beside the male leads in countless worlds.

For a cannon fodder, the pay is good, the work is easy, and the life is short. Who could resist? So his roles include, but aren't limited to:

The brave little brother who takes a blade for the male lead, the gentle older brother who dies young;

The cold, ruthless big shot, the childhood friend who grew up with the male lead;

The honest brother-in-law, the aloof and otherworldly master;

And so on...

Just as Xie Ci is happily waiting to collect his points, the System, Old Six, suddenly delivers terrible news:

[We're sorry. All the storylines in the worlds you've completed have collapsed. To make up for the damage, please return to those small worlds and start your missions over.]

Xie Ci keeps a blank expression, but inwardly, a thousand horses are stampeding through his mind.

Still, with the enormous rewards waiting when the missions are complete, he finds it hard to give up. So he can only keep traveling back to the beginning of the timeline in one small world after another.

First world: The cannon fodder genius who takes a blade for the male lead

The System comforts Xie Ci: [Just take another blade for the male lead, and then you can die in peace.]

Xie Ci: I've always done my job diligently, but the male lead refuses to let me go. Even after being reborn, he's impossible to deal with. I can't run, no matter how hard I try.

Later, he manages to fake his death, only to discover that the small world has nearly collapsed again. The male lead is stabbing himself with a knife beside Xie Ci's hospital bed.

Xie Ci: I don't want to see blood.

So he goes back again.

Second world: The cannon fodder older brother who dies in the male lead's place

Poor Xie Ci finds a scruffy little kid beside a trash can. A month later, he adopts the child and names him Xie Qingchen.

Xie Ci returns to the original timeline. As soon as he opens the door, he sees his younger sister preparing to chop up the male lead with a knife.

[The male lead has been reborn. Surprised? Didn't see that coming?]

Xie Ci, expressionless: Neither surprised nor impressed.

[Oh, and your younger sister has been reborn too.]

Xie Ci: ...Dying is so hard.

Theme: Have the courage to keep living.
