The Narcissistic Patient [Quick Transmigration]

[My other novel, The Pirated Boss Returns to the Infinite Game, is now underway. It's an infinite-world story with a self-love twist, so check it out if that sounds appealing!] You Ye started acting at twelve and was dubbed a “genius method actor” by the media. There was no role he couldn't pull off. Acting was his whole life, but on his twenty-seventh birthday, he got into an accident on his way to the film set. As he hovered near death, a birthday song and the cold voice of a System rang out “Welcome to the Patient Performance System.” “Only by perfectly portraying the role of the patient in each world and earning the approval of the director behind the scenes can you regain your life.” “We regret to inform you that your randomly assigned director is rather twisted. No one has ever successfully cleared his storyline.” You Ye felt no inner turmoil at all. He even smiled. “I regret to inform this director that his record is about to be broken.” And so he perfectly portrayed a “frail, vase-like celebrity who craves human blood,” a “defective robot that cries whenever someone touches it,” a “psychiatrist searching for his vanished second personality,” and more... He is both actor and patient. He brings contradictory, compelling characters to life with ease. You Ye from a parallel world died in an accident eighteen years ago. After death, he worked for a quick transmigration world and personally built the Patient Performance System, code name 202. Only by meeting the actor meant for him, who could perfectly play the roles he'd created, could 202 return to the past, erase his regrets, and fulfill his wishes. 202 waited eighteen years, and at last, on his birthday, his chosen actor arrived. But he doesn't know who the other man is: another version of himself from a parallel world. 202 makes cameo appearances as characters in the scripts, meeting his other self in different worlds and acting alongside him. Then they fall in love, and their identities are revealed. You Ye: Sorry, I'm self-obsessed. 202: What a coincidence. So am I. Reader's guide: 1. A self-love variant where each version pursues the other, set in parallel timelines. The protagonists in the two worlds died at different times and in different circumstances. 2. The roles may not appear in the order given in the blurb and may be changed. The story itself takes precedence. 3. An experimental work, not a typical quick transmigration story; it includes fantasy, infinite-loop, and suspense elements. 4. The cover character design is a template and is not the only possible appearance. My other self-love infinite-world story, The Pirated Boss Returns to the Infinite Game, is now underway: Qi Jiu is killed on his eighteenth birthday. After death, he enters the resurrection game, Rule Compendium. Other players barely survive, and the instance worlds are strewn with corpses. As rookie Qi Jiu fights to survive, he discovers that things are getting stranger and stranger... A former employee of the mutated factory: “Boss, you blew up the factory. Can I get unemployment benefits?” A thousand-year-old zombie from a mass grave: “Boss, you smashed my coffin, my original body. Does that count as a workplace injury?” The ghost bride from a midnight wedding: “Boss, you killed the groom. Can I still get my fifteen days of honeymoon leave approved? Or can I switch it to bereavement leave?” Qi Jiu: ??? Why do you all seem to know me so well? He seems to possess some kind of special ability that makes the monsters in the instances respectfully call him “Boss.” Until one day, he comes across the god-tier boss 079 and discovers that this dangerous man has exactly the same face as him... Qi Jiu panics. “Well, damn. So I'm the knockoff.” * 079 is a legendary boss in the infinite world, with the strongest combat ability and an almost perfect face. Players call him the unbeatable Grim Reaper. Many years ago, 079's character data was stolen. The thief escaped to the real world and used 079's data to make an artificial human. Eighteen years later, in the terrifying world of infinite loops, 079 encounters an unusual rookie player This guy uses a face identical to his own to lead his subordinates around by the nose and wreck every instance. What should he do? No problem. After all, he's super, super self-obsessed.
