When the Villain Cracks the Traffic Code

This novel has been discontinued.

Shang Lu transmigrates into a dark, sugary romance novel where the villain causes trouble whenever he isn't falling in love. From cannon fodder to main characters, no one who crosses him survives. He turns a romance novel into a bad ending where everyone dies, with such brutal methods they make your blood run cold.

And Shang Lu is now a cannon fodder character who dares to trample on the villain's dignity and will end up not even leaving behind a speck of ash.

Shang Lu at first: "What the hell, this isn't a mission, it's a death sentence. Run!"

Shang Lu after seeing how beautiful the villain is: "I need to have the courage to stand up to the forces of darkness! Never abandon him, never give up!"

So he diligently works as the villain's assistant. He takes care of his daily needs, plays roles to hone his acting skills whenever the villain needs him, works hard as a livestream moderator, and fills in for him on variety shows to perform.

If the villain needs it, there's nothing Shang Lu can't do.

Viewers at first: "Why does Xia Wanhui take his assistant everywhere? He's even selling a gay ship to cash in now. Ugh!"

Viewers gradually getting hooked: "You've really figured out how to play the traffic game."

Shang Lu successfully turns a dark romance into a little dating game: "This mission is worth it. Fictional characters really are delicious."

Xia Wanhui knows perfectly well that he's the villain, a clown who was destined to be disliked from the moment he was created.

His life has no meaning, and neither does this world, which exists only for the male and female leads.

Until his assistant changes from a quiet, unremarkable little helper into... an eye-catching pervert.

At first, he thinks he's found someone like himself. Then he realizes:

Shang Lu is the only real person in this world.

He's also a treasure that only Xia Wanhui can see.

With Shang Lu around, the world isn't so detestable after all.

He's willing to surrender to Shang Lu's special affection for him, lay down his weapons, and redeem himself.

Slightly perverted, mildly popular love interest x obsessive, darkened love interest

Blurb for The Female Supporting Character Has Cut Off All Romantic Attachments:

Jian Er'er, a troublemaker in the quick-transmigration world and a top-tier slacker, has one ultimate dream in life: to retire gloriously and become a good-for-nothing.

But just before she finally qualifies for retirement after completing 99 minor worlds, disaster strikes: as the number of collapsing minor worlds increases, her retirement is postponed indefinitely.

Jian Er'er: ...Just let everything end. I'm tired.

These minor worlds are either on the brink of collapse or running out of spiritual energy. They have one thing in common: everything revolves around love, and all the world's fortune is invested in people who are foolishly in love.

System: Host, please maintain order in the minor worlds. Reject romantic obsession and cut off all emotional attachments!

Jian Er'er: Hah. No one can be more free of romantic attachments than an overworked wage slave. I have no feelings at all!

World One: A deity who has cut off all romantic attachments

You're a god and still spend all day thinking about romance? You'd sacrifice the Three Realms over the slightest disagreement? Who do you think you are?

World Two: An empress dowager who has cut off all romantic attachments

The emperor won't listen? Then we'll replace him. I can put whoever I want on that throne. The emperor is just a pawn, after all.

World Three: A martial arts prodigy who has cut off all romantic attachments

The righteous are all hypocrites, while the unorthodox are the only ones who are genuine and don't bother with petty rules? Let me teach you what it means to be a true hero: serving the people and the country.

World Four: A Republican-era lady who has cut off all romantic attachments

This is an age of romance and poetry? When our nation is in peril, we must shoulder its fate. There is only duty, no private love.

Jian Er'er is an emotionless work machine. She completes her missions and leaves without feelings or ties. But at some point, a soul breaks through the restraints and follows her across countless worlds, never giving up, even after a hundred deaths.

Blurb from the male lead's perspective: He met a god in an age when Heaven's order was crumbling and ritual and music had fallen into ruin. He became the god's follower, then found himself coveting the god.

After that, he endured countless hardships and lived through a hundred lifetimes, finally catching up with the god.

The god became an empress dowager ruling from behind the curtain, and he became the powerful eunuch at her side, clearing every obstacle in her way.

The god became a righteous heroine devoted to her country, and he became the leader of a demonic sect who had lost his way, placing his life and future in her hands.

The god became a revolutionary fighter who shouldered the fate of her nation, and he reined in his viciousness, bowing in submission to become the blade she used to cleave open the old era.

He had thought that being the god's most loyal follower was already a blessing. He had never imagined the god would turn back for him, reach out a hand, illuminate his world, and pull him out of the mire.
