Ye Shuyun has traveled to countless worlds. As time carried him from one to another, he guided each world toward a different ending, sometimes ushering in a new beginning, sometimes bringing about its collapse and destruction. As a gifted senior employee, his performance record was impressive.
Then, in one apocalyptic world, he met a foolish young master who was about to be eliminated by a coalition of several factions.
The young master, whose life had been wretched, clung to Ye Shuyun's leg and knelt in the snow for two days, begging to survive, until he passed out with a high fever.
Ye Shuyun was on an espionage mission. After putting him off for a little while, he agreed to help.
Three years later, Ye Shuyun pointed a gun at his young apprentice. All he had to do was pull the trigger, and he could meet his performance target for the year with a perfect score.
The young master curled up in fear, too weak even to run.
Ye Shuyun frowned. He knew that if he fired, he would destroy this person completely.
"Bang, bang, bang, "
At the sound of three gunshots, the culprits who had tried to harm Bai Yue fell. Ye Shuyun sighed, guilt-stricken, then picked up the trembling young master and kissed his forehead gently. "I'm sorry I scared you. It's all over now."
He thought he had found his answer.
Now, I will stay here with you.
Bai Yue was a weak, bottom-tier office worker on a 996 schedule. His job was to transmigrate into worlds where supporting characters had skipped out on their roles, impersonate the victims, and keep those worlds stable. To survive, he had gone from a pampered young master to a seasoned veteran who had unlocked ten thousand ways to die. Unfortunately, he didn't think he would ever get used to dying.
But to avoid facing true "death," he still worked up the courage to diligently complete every small-world mission.
This time, he was sent to an apocalyptic world, where he was cast as a young master with a tragic background who was tortured to death. On top of that, he had to be betrayed by someone closest to him. That was tricky: the original young master had no one to rely on, so who could possibly be close to him? But when Bai Yue saw the generous reward, he decided there was no difficulty he couldn't overcome.
Why not choose this guy?
When the gun barrel pointed at him, Bai Yue's fear was real. But thinking of the mission he carried and the generous reward, he gritted his teeth and held on.
"Go ahead, shoot! Just make it all end!" Bai Yue shut his eyes and bit his lower lip.
"Bang, bang, bang, "
After the three gunshots, he wasn't transported back to the main world.
Instead, he fell into a warm embrace.
"Don't worry. It's all right now."
The scum of a master who was supposed to betray him had suddenly changed his mind.
But that's not how the script goes!
