After Zhu Jiang died unexpectedly, he was inexplicably bound to a System and became a vicious cannon-fodder character in a series of small worlds.
The System repeatedly warned him: You must play the cannon fodder properly. Don't repeat the mistakes of those who came before you!
Zhu Jiang obediently nodded to show he understood.
[In the workplace story, Zhu Jiang is a thoroughly materialistic gold digger. To climb the ladder, he seduces his boss and tempts his coworkers.
The day after he gets promoted, word gets out that he's been juggling three men at once. His reputation is ruined, and he becomes the shameless office siren who'll do anything to get ahead.]
Little E, the System, nervously looks at its little Host, who blinks. "What's a juicy scandal?"
"And what does 'slut' mean? What about 'seduce'..."
Little E: ...That's hard to explain.
The little Host nods earnestly. "No problem! I don't really understand, but I'll do my best!"
Little E: Are you sure that's going to be okay?
Then it sees the refined, reserved boss smile and swallow his anger when he learns the little Host has a new lover, only to secretly sabotage his rival.
The Host's sworn enemy, who ought to despise him, eagerly asks to be his lover. And that's not even mentioning the first love the Host dumped in the original story...
Watching the three powerful men get so lovestruck over the little Host that they even come to blows over him, Little E regrets everything.
Wait, weren't you supposed to humiliate him and hate him with all your heart?!
Why are you all fighting each other and scrambling to wear the cuckold's hat?!
[World Two: Becoming an invisible bookworm at an American school.]
[On the surface, Zhu Jiang is an unpopular little bookworm. In reality, he's entangled online with the most popular and influential people at the school, has the juiciest campus gossip at his fingertips, and is a top-tier social butterfly juggling three relationships at once.]
[Then he gets exposed at a party.]
[World Three: In a Liaozhai tale, becoming the dead white moonlight of a domineering protagonist against his will.]
[World Four: In a period drama, becoming the widowed sister-in-law of a gloomy younger brother-in-law.]
But in every world, there's always one person like this.
He's devoted and passionate. His love is like a roaring wave, dark and heavy with longing.
He doesn't care whether Zhu Jiang loves him, whether Zhu Jiang remembers him, how many people are by his side, or anything else in the world.
He just loves Zhu Jiang, following him everywhere like a big dog, no matter where in the world he goes.
But Zhu Jiang is hopelessly naive about love, and asks him in confusion, "What if I never learn how to love you?"
The man pulls him into his arms and murmurs, "That's okay. It's enough that I love you."
Please note:
1. The love interest is split into multiple fragments. There are both good and evil versions, and the evil versions are love interests too.
2. I'm writing to indulge my personal tastes. If it gives you nightmares, that's not my problem! 🥳
