After Becoming the Sidekick of a Male-Frequency Novel's Hero, I Got Played (Quick Transmigration)

By a twist of fate, Gu Mobo joined the Quick Transmigration Bureau. He agreed to go to the Cannon Fodder Division, where promotions came fastest, at his System's suggestion, hoping to earn a recommendation slot so that his younger sister, his only family, could join the Bureau too.

He would become an experience-and-resource pack for the male lead on his path to power. He might get face-slapped and then become a devoted follower, or he might already be the male lead's loyal underling, willing to offer resources and help before the male lead rose to prominence. Or he might simply die covering the male lead's retreat in a life-or-death crisis.

After transmigrating, Gu Mobo diligently followed the scripts provided by the System. But later on, all those male leads, whether domineering and flashy, cold and heartless, or debauched and carefree, completely went off-script.

Male Lead One: Mobo, you're the person I trust most. I want to share the world with you.

Gu Mobo: Can I ask what I'm doing in this wedding outfit?

Male Lead Two: Get on. You're the only one worthy of standing by my side.

Gu Mobo: Thanks, but could you let me bow out after I take the sword for you?

Male Lead Three: Take whatever company resources you want. What's mine is yours.

Gu Mobo: Could you please trick me into giving up my shares and kick me out?

After several worlds, Gu Mobo was so disheartened that he wanted to switch divisions and slowly build up points for a promotion. But the System told him he had already accumulated enough points and seniority to redeem a recommendation slot.

Gu Mobo stared in confusion at his exceptionally high mission completion rate. Only belatedly did it occur to him: had he been played?

Theme: Everyone can become a better version of themselves.
