A Guide to Self-Rescue for a Tool Character [Book Transmigration]

The overworked office drone Xian Yu binds himself to a book-transmigration System and becomes a rich second-generation vase who coasts through life in the entertainment industry, while the heroine makes him look like nothing.

System: Just act out your minor part as a tool character in eight original novels, and keep the world stable. Then you can stay here forever.

Xian Yu, whose dream in life is to coast through things, replies: Got it. It's just quick transmigration, right? I'm in!

System: Sorry, it's not quick transmigration.

Xian Yu: ?

System: All eight original novels take place in the same world, and you're the same shared tool character in all of them.

Xian Yu: !

Rushing between sets and events, Xian Yu uses every trick in the book to slack off, hoping to retire by doing nothing.

But...

Fans: As long as you're here, we'll always love you!

The protagonists: You'll always be my best brother/friend/older brother!

Xian Yu is on the verge of tears: But I really want to retire...

A day in the life of Tool Character A, Xian Yu:

Morning: Ask his female lead little sister for pocket money, and run into Tool Character B, his brother-in-law.

Noon: Send a secret glance to the loyal protagonist gong, and run into Tool Character B, his uncle.

Afternoon: Be the gay bestie of the protagonist shou who's adored by everyone, and run into Tool Character B, his boss.

Xian Yu: You again! Why is it always you?

Gong Juren: Sorry, I have twenty scripts.

Xian Yu: This is too much!

So he took the poor guy's hand and finally turned his life around: Damn it, I'm done!

The protagonists were all puzzled about why Xian Yu kept moving further and further away from them.

Until, at Xian Yu's award ceremony, they saw him, now at the top of his game, pinning his big-shot former fiance/uncle/boss against a wall at the event, one hand on his waist.

The protagonists, who had always been held down by big shots: Something feels... off.

Gong Juren: I cried. I was faking it.
