The Protagonist Doesn't Play by the Rules [Quick Transmigration]

On the protagonist's path forward, there are always a few nobodies behind him who get crushed and reduced to cannon fodder.

Liu Weishi is one of those nobodies... playing the part.

He's just an ordinary, laid-back, work-shirking office drone. As long as he follows the original plot and character setup, he can slack off and collect his paycheck. Sounds wonderful.

But as he keeps slacking off, he starts to realize that something about the script seems wrong.

***As the unscrupulous manager who exploits his artists, Liu Weishi keeps booking gigs for the movie-star protagonist, making him work nonstop on film shoots and endorsements.

In short, he never lets him rest.

When the contract expires, the male protagonist says gratefully, "Brother Shi, thank you for always supporting me behind the scenes. As long as I don't retire, I'll follow you for the rest of my life."

Liu Weishi: ???

Why don't you just switch agencies and come back to crush me? If you don't exit the story, how am I supposed to collect my paycheck?

***As the unscrupulous uncle scheming to steal the family fortune, Liu Weishi keeps tormenting the male protagonist when he's a child. When the boy doesn't want to study, he hires ten tutors, breaks up his romance, and kicks him out of the house.

In short, he never lets him have an easy time.

On an interview program featuring promising young people, the male protagonist says gratefully, "I owe the fact that I made it from nothing to my uncle's careful guidance over the years. It made me who I am today."

Liu Weishi: ???

Why don't you come take back what's yours? If you don't exit the story, how am I supposed to collect my paycheck?

***As the biological father who becomes a terrible dad as soon as he gets a stepmother for his daughter, Liu Weishi keeps favoring his sweet-talking stepdaughter. He buys her pretty dresses and a phone, while buying his own daughter, a poor student, practice books for the college entrance exam.

In short, he never lets her be happy.

In an interview as the province's top scorer in the college entrance exam, the female protagonist says gratefully, "My life used to be a complete mess. I owe who I am today to my father's strict guidance."

Liu Weishi: ???

Why don't you cut ties with me? If you don't exit the story, how am I supposed to collect my paycheck?
