To overcome his poor memory, Qiqi has to be remembered by enough people.
He's forced to keep traveling through quick transmigration worlds, each one a hopeless situation from the start.
Luckily, Qiqi is good at surviving...

After spiritual qi revival, humans, animals, and plants all awakened various supernatural powers.
Qiqi's true form is a Turritopsis dohrnii, a jellyfish that is nearly immortal. For special reasons, he's currently a pretty but useless member of a popular group.
The company has him pegged as a "nurtured idol."
Fifty years later, the first teammate can no longer dance, the second has fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and the third has lost lung capacity.
Qiqi has become the group's main dancer and rapper.
Qiqi: "My big brothers looked after me for fifty years. I'll look after them for five hundred. Our group spirit will live forever."
Teammates who only want to retire: "Please, stop looking after us."
In a luxurious mansion, three generations of a family are watching Qiqi's performance with tears in their eyes.
The old man is the first to sense that something is wrong. He turns around and sees a figure slowly emerging from the portrait they've worshiped for generations.
"A-Ancestor?"
Ignoring the three generations huddled together and trembling, the young man they call Ancestor watches the TV. After a long moment, his lips part. "Wife."

The era resets. Qiqi wakes from a nap and discovers he's in an unlimited-flow game instance. For some reason, the teammates around him are all looking at him with disgust.
Mind-bending game rules, reading comprehension way beyond his level, world problems on the scale of the Goldbach conjecture... Qiqi can't solve any of them.
[Player failed to solve the puzzle. One year of lifespan deducted.]
[Player failed the stage. Three years of lifespan deducted.]
[Player violated a death rule...]
Less than half a second after the punishment takes effect, Qiqi is reborn on the spot, young again.
The top players on his team: "!!!"
The monster: "???"
A wicked spirit born from countless betrayals and resentment, it spends its days mocking humans for murdering one another over a few measly years of life, and sneering at all partings and deaths.
Until one day, it falls in love with a player who can live even longer than it can...
"I resent how brief my life is."
Qiqi: "..."
The stars, the world of cultivation... Qiqi transmigrates through one world after another, passing through cracks in time and space, only to discover...
After half a lifetime away, he's still a boy when he returns.
The love interest, who's doing his best to become an immortal: "..."
Beneath the humble gate, one may dwell in peace. By the waters of the Mi, one may find joy and forget hunger.
Wherever the heart finds peace is home.
Reader's Notes
1. Also known as How to Waste Your Life, Another Day Alive, and Let's Live Until the End of the Century, Dancing and Somehow Still Kicking.
2. A short story, not focused on career building. More slice-of-life, comedy, and lighthearted fun.
3. Time skips happen often, and supporting characters will die of old age.
4. Qiqi x Shi Suiyu, transmigration, 1v1, silly, sweet wish-fulfillment. The central premise will stay the same, but the blurb, title, and other details may be revised several times before the story begins.
