A completed story with a similar premise: I'm Not a Scumbag [Quick Transmigration]

Coming soon: The Second Male Lead Has Awakened [Quick Transmigration]; Going Crazy in a Scum Story [Quick Transmigration]

Jiang Ning was one of the best temporal administrators, but somehow ended up inside a melodramatic period novel as a male supporting character who'd once been abused and was now a spoiled troublemaker!

1. [He drove his wife's family to ruin, while his older brother became a rich family's live-in son-in-law]

His biased parents came to his wife's family to ask for money again. “Ning, you have to keep the money in your own hands. Your wife is playing games with you. The money she gave you last time wasn't even enough to pay your brother's tuition. He's seeing someone again, so you need to figure out a way to get more.”

Jiang Ning picked the day his older brother was going on a blind date and negotiated the bride price for him in front of his prospective match. If you're going to be a troublemaker, you can do it anywhere, right?

2. [A decent man who treated everyone well, but gave his wife the silent treatment]

A friend asking for a favor: “Brother Ning, why haven't you taken care of that thing for me yet? I'm still waiting over here. It's just having a baby. My mom didn't even go to the hospital when she had me. Your wife is way too delicate.”

Jiang Ning ignored his rotten friends' pleas. Right in front of their boss, he praised them until they became dangerous favorites who overshadowed their superior. “You make your own identity when you're out in the world. This is all I can do for you.”

3. [A man who outsourced his filial duties, then suddenly became dutiful to his parents after getting married]

Coming soon: The Second Male Lead Has Awakened [Quick Transmigration]

He Zhou had just finished a male lead mission and returned to the main world when a System malfunction dumped him into one melodramatic novel after another, each featuring a tragic, beautiful, and powerful second male lead.

They were rich, handsome, and talented, yet they went crazy for female leads who didn't love them, and repeatedly ran headfirst into a wall.

They even sacrificed everything they had to pave the way for the male lead, all so the couple could live happily ever after!

He Zhou: It's time for that lovesick brain to wake up.

1. [He took the blame and raised the educated youth heroine and her child after his friend abandoned them. Years later, her family reunited, while he ended up losing his money, property, and reputation]

After his friend made a mistake, he didn't want to take responsibility. “Good buddy, I know you've always liked Educated Youth Su. Here's your chance. Make sure you take good care of her from now on.”

He Zhou: “So kind of you! The old widow next door is looking for someone to take care of her. I'll give you that chance instead.”

Educated Youth Su: “Comrade He, I know you're the kindest person around. He left me. What should I do?”

He Zhou: “What? You want to report him to the authorities? I knew you'd be a learned person who understands propriety and shame, Comrade Su.”

2. [After being a sucker for eight years and spending his entire fortune to put his childhood sweetheart through college, he was dismissed as a country bumpkin. She then turned around and married her male classmate]

The heroine came asking for money again, speaking ambiguously: “Maybe I'm still young. I don't know how I feel about you. But my desire to be close to you will never change.”

He Zhou: “Don't be silly. Don't overthink it. Pay back what you owe, and everything will become clear.”
