Also known as What Does It Feel Like to Go from an Extra to a Big Shot? and My Brothers Were Both Stunned by Me
Nian Jinsu transmigrated, becoming a sickly prince in a palace-intrigue novel about a power struggle that he had read.
He remembered his older brother, who was violent and ruthless; his second brother, who hid a blade behind his smile; his fourth brother, who was sinister and cunning... and his father, the emperor, who was a master schemer.
He... wasn't worried at all. (Just kidding!)
Luckily, the book The Extra's Guide to Self-Cultivation had come along with him. As long as he followed its instructions, he could safely be an extra without risking his life.
Wonderful! Nian Jinsu wept with joy. (Just kidding!)
The book revealed that he had transmigrated into more than one novel. His task was to play an extra in every scenario, or he could be in danger at any moment.
So he had no choice but to set out on a path of building a bunch of secret identities.
Why was a deposed general living incognito and opening a restaurant in a border town?
The newly risen Demon Cult was unstoppable, and its leader was personally preaching to the masses!
The world's most beautiful woman did just one thing, yet countless men and women wept every day!
The transcendent prime minister showed favoritism to an outrageous degree without being punished by the emperor. What was the story behind that?
People soon discovered... that one person was behind everything: Nian! Jin! Su!
Rules for an extra's self-cultivation:
One: Don't steal anyone else's scenes.
Two: Don't get involved with the main cast.
Three: Don't stand out too much!!!
Nian Jinsu, who had broken all three rules: ...Sorry, I'll come clean. My abilities won't let me do otherwise. (Just kidding!)
He was only showing up for his scenes on time, so why did he always attract attention? Nian Jinsu was in tears.
The Extra's Guide to Self-Cultivation changed again and again, eventually becoming The Big Shot's Guide to Self-Cultivation.
