As an outstanding employee of the Background Character System, Lu Renjia is discreet, reserved, and utterly ordinary. He plays every role to perfection, quietly keeps small worlds on track, and never takes credit for his contributions.
Then, after one System upgrade, he gets assigned to the Male Supporting Character System. He becomes the male lead’s imaginary rival in love, the honest brother made to take the fall, the hapless scapegoat in a murder case...
All these supporting characters share the same fate: after offending the protagonist’s group, they meet a miserable end.
Sensing his heart rate speeding up, the System quickly reassures him. “Host, don’t panic. We don’t ask much of you. Just stay alive. When it comes to lying low, you’re a pro. Go get ’em!”
A strange glint appeared in Lu Renjia’s eyes. “You really don’t have any other requirements? All I have to do is stay alive?”
Seeing his poor, helpless Host, the System earnestly nodded.
Later,
Lu Renjia held a wineglass and watched the leaves drift outside. He said to the assistant behind him, “It’s getting cold. Time to make the Fu Group go bankrupt.”
The System stared in disbelief. “Stop! Stop! Isn’t that what the protagonist says to the male supporting character? We just need to live quietly. Host, stop making trouble!”
But the System found that its Host was becoming harder and harder to define.
As a convict dragged in to take the fall for the protagonist, he studied the law and collected evidence, becoming a renowned lawyer who got the culprit into court before anyone else and saved the country from economic losses.
As the unlucky guy killed off early, he not only survived but also exposed the hidden murderer, eventually becoming the country’s most famous criminal investigation expert.
The System, following close behind and worrying every day: I’m so scared. Has someone replaced my Host?
Lu Renjia: I’m just discreet, not only capable of keeping a low profile. Relax, relax.
