The Substitute's Guide to Coming Out on Top

Book Two: "It's Hard to Take the Place of the Original?" Book Three: "A Substitute Gong's Rise to the Top: An Account [Quick Transmigration]" [World Nine complete] Primarily gong-perspective Quick Transmigration, but there are also shou-perspective sections. The shou is the same person throughout. Li Shen found a new job at the Quick Transmigration Bureau: professional substitute. System 111: Your mission is to play the protagonist gong's substitute in various small worlds on the verge of collapse, advance the relationship between the protagonist gong and shou, help them achieve a happy ending, and maintain the stability of each world. Li Shen: That's not hard. System 111 had investigated Li Shen's work history and was completely confident: I believe in you. Later, every protagonist shou fell in love with the substitute gong and ignored the protagonist gong completely. Li Shen shrugged: You can't blame me. He insisted on liking me. System 111: I believe you, my foot!!! * World One: Illegitimate-son substitute gong X spoiled, extreme rich-kid shou (addictive)? Li Shen is the protagonist gong's older half-brother. The protagonist shou, driven to despair by unrequited love for the protagonist gong, goes to the edge of a cliff, but a photo from a friend brings him back. The man in the photo looks about half like the protagonist gong, especially his eyes, which convey a depth of feeling utterly unlike the protagonist gong's. Li Shen is devoted, gentle, attentive, and always ready to please in public, but in bed he's so vigorous that the protagonist shou ends up with weak kidneys. The protagonist shou gets hooked and gradually forgets the protagonist gong. The day before the protagonist gong returns, the shou discovers that Li Shen is actually the protagonist gong's eldest illegitimate brother, and that he approached him only to get revenge on the protagonist gong. Li Shen naturally breaks up with the protagonist shou. System 111 happily waits for the points that are about to come its way. But not only does the shou come looking for Li Shen just a few days after they split, he also ignores the protagonist gong, who has come to his senses and wants to pursue him. System 111: ...What exactly went wrong??? World Two: College-student substitute gong X aloof professor shou (both are substitutes) World Three: Extra substitute gong X genius director shou (dream lover) World Four: Thug substitute gong X general shou (interstellar) World Five: Invisible idol substitute gong X hugely popular champion shou (idol competition) World Six: Ordinary Beta turned Alpha substitute gong X sensitive, fragile Omega shou (ABO) World Seven: Heavily indebted civilian substitute gong X wealthy heir shou (dating show) World Eight: Cannon-fodder substitute gong X fragmented shou (cultivation) World Nine: Assistant substitute gong X scandal-plagued, publicity-driven star shou * Ming Zhao made a mistake, so the director of the Quick Transmigration Bureau erased his memories and punished him by sending him into small worlds to play a nasty protagonist shou. He had to become the official partner of a protagonist gong with questionable character, endure a torturous romance, and love the gong without being loved in return. Thankfully, the super-handsome gong he'd won over came to save him. Ming Zhao: Boohoo, Li Shen doesn't mind that I'm nasty. To keep System 111 in the dark, he put on an incredible performance while secretly meeting up with me. I love him even more after every small world~ Reader's guide: The shou has lost his memories. Though he doesn't remember the gong, he can't help being drawn to him. The shou is kind by nature, and only pretends to be nasty. The gong knows the whole story, so he's mostly trying to help the shou fix his problems, not deliberately torment him. & Next up: "Professional Love Rival [Quick Transmigration]". Gong-perspective. Synopsis: World One: Refined young master X lovesick rich kid Wen Renyuan is an arrogant, high-profile rich kid who pursues pianist Yu Xi and mocks all his romantic rivals. Later, he falls in love with his rival, Lu Yuanzhuo, instead. The two attend the same party. No matter how far apart they are, Wen Renyuan's gaze always secretly follows Lu Yuanzhuo. He goes into the private room Lu Yuanzhuo just left because it still carries Lu Yuanzhuo's scent, secretly keeps the old clothes Lu Yuanzhuo discarded, and holds them close each night, breathing in their scent. He rides the same bus, subway, high-speed train, or plane as Lu Yuanzhuo, and even pursues the people Lu Yuanzhuo likes. Wen Renyuan is consumed by fantasies of being loved by Lu Yuanzhuo, but his inferiority complex keeps him from approaching the person he truly loves. Until one day, Lu Yuanzhuo discovers the rich kid's lovesick-stalker behavior... World Two: Internet celebrity streamer X possessive, obsessive CEO Streamer Lu Yuanzhuo, newly signed by a livestreaming company, becomes an overnight sensation. Nobody knows that the company's CEO, He Lian Tang, is his top donor and the force behind his sudden fame. Nor does anyone know that when Lu Yuanzhuo teams up with another gaming celebrity to fake a couple, He Lian Tang stares with bloodshot eyes and stays awake all night. The next day, he explicitly bans the company's streamers from faking couples, only for his assistant to misunderstand and think he likes the gaming celebrity. He Lian Tang and Lu Yuanzhuo become rivals in love, as everyone knows. World Three: Shut-in comic artist X gloomy wheelchair-bound bigwig Entertainment mogul Chao Jing confines Lu Yuanzhuo, an obscure comic artist signed to his publishing group, and forces him to draw the next installment of his perpetually delayed comic. Lu Yuanzhuo isn't allowed to leave the villa until he finishes. One day, Chao Jing returns to the villa and discovers that Lu Yuanzhuo has been helped to escape by Fang Tang, the housekeeper's son. After finding Lu Yuanzhuo and bringing him back, Chao Jing makes Fang Tang his personal assistant, ordering him to tend to his daily needs so he can't secretly help Lu Yuanzhuo escape again. Not long afterward, Lu Yuanzhuo's comic is successfully published, and he becomes the group's best-known comic artist. The first thing he does is thank Fang Tang for helping him escape. They say that on that day, nearly half the people in the group saw Chao Jing and Lu Yuanzhuo squaring off over Fang Tang, making their rivalry in love official.

He's drawn to the new fragrance created by Gan Yanming, unaware that it's a diversionary trick. World Six: Beloved fake young master X despised real young master With long hair covering his eyes and black-framed glasses, Feng Jingze always watches Lu Yuanzhuo gloomily from a distance. He deliberately gets close to the petite boys who like Lu Yuanzhuo, using money and gifts to win them over so they casually let him hear news about Lu Yuanzhuo. World Seven: Bar gigging gong X cold-faced, blunt shou During the day, Chen Yunting competes with Lu Yuanzhuo for the bassist's attention and coldly says he's going to teach Lu Yuanzhuo a lesson. At night, he goes to Lu Yuanzhuo's home wearing a sexy outfit and dancing like a bunny. Lu Yuanzhuo: I didn't see any color at all. I only saw a lot of yellow. Theme: Maintain professional ethics
