The Career-Minded One Is Tangled Up With a Love-Struck Fool Again [Quick Transmigration]

The resentment of certain characters can sometimes threaten the stability of an entire small world. Every year, the Space-Time Administration sends out a large number of agents to handle cases like these.

Most of these characters become resentful because their love-addled minds ruin their lives. Wen Wu only needs to help a doomed male supporting character reclaim his family business, help a villainous Demon Lord master demonic cultivation, or heal a gloomy, one-legged CEO by playing the part of a shadowy cripple himself...

System: No, no, no. Due to a change in work assignments, your mission will be a little different this time.

Wen Wu: ?

System: You need to find someone to fall in love with.

Wen Wu: ???

You mean that even though I've spent my whole life as a legendary punching bag, a human blood bank, and an automatic cleanup crew for other people's messes, now that they finally have a chance to settle their scores, I'm still supposed to fall in love?

Wen Wu didn't understand, but he respected the decision. This time, though, he was going to do things his way.

Even if a love-addled character grows resentful enough to threaten the world's stability, they're still love-addled. And even if an ambitious career-minded character is forced into a romance, they're still career-minded.

Wen Wu just so happened to be the universally acknowledged, purebred career fanatic: the Space-Time Administration's most notorious bachelor, a wooden block who had crossed countless mission worlds without so much as a single peach blossom coming his way.

Wen Wu had just been named "Employee of the Month" last month, but he felt certain he'd make a major blunder at work next week and get fired.

Wen Wu: ...Could I at least get a passing grade for taking my career plotline to its absolute limit?

But someone was always bound to dare to face his heartlessness.

That someone was the man who kept showing up at his side, racking his brains to seduce him, and who seemed to be the ex-boyfriend he'd had a nasty breakup with.

*

A cool, beautiful bottom is hurt by his heartless scumbag ex. After losing all hope, he leaves, only to turn around and fall into the arms of his ex's uncle. The cool scent of his body leaves the domineering, noble man captivated and unable to forget him.

To avenge the beautiful bottom, the uncle waves a hand and makes the scumbag ex suffer a miserable fate, turning him into a laughingstock.

What a coincidence: because of his mission, Wen Wu became that scumbag ex.

Then he met another unlucky, disposable character just like himself.

An attack who won't discuss love, impervious to every tactic x a clever, calculating, foxlike seducer of a bottom

A weak, homebound man transmigrates into a brutal cultivation world. Through his naive kindness and his lack of worldly experience, he saves the original protagonist, who was destined to go mad. The two eventually clear every obstacle and ascend to immortality.

This time, Wen Wu's role is a villainous Demon Lord who spends most of his life trying to ascend, only to be moved by a wild fruit offered by the protagonist bottom, then becomes obsessed with him and brings about his own destruction.

Wen Wu didn't quite get it, but after weighing the two options, he still thought ascending was more important.

"Mm, yes, ascending is very important," said his accomplice, who was also his medicinal catalyst. He dug out his own heart and burned himself alive to help Wen Wu ascend.

A cold, ruthless villain top with a deep obsession x a beautiful, strong, tragic Daoist leader bottom who gives his life for him

In an ABO world, a delicate, soft Omega beauty is surrounded by predators and has no choice but to seek refuge with the most mysterious, gloomy, crippled person in power. The legendary ruler is high-ranking, ruthless, and sinister, yet is so intoxicated by the stunning Omega's pheromones that he spends every night in revelry.

Now it's Wen Wu's turn to play the lust-crazed top.

Wen Wu: ...

Honestly, that's kind of disgusting.

And doesn't the original have a partner? You can't just openly steal someone else's spouse because they're an honest person.

Then, when Wen Wu handed the divorce papers to the original's spouse, the Omega, who had always seemed gentle and virtuous, decisively injected himself with a drug that induced heat.

As it happened, this time Wen Wu was not only an alpha controlled by pheromones, but also a cripple who couldn't outrun a healthy adult man, even if he spun his wheelchair until it smoked.

A crafty, calculating top who gets caught out by missing information x a bottom who is addicted to playing the virtuous spouse but is just as rotten underneath

Actually, Wen Wu wasn't always so hard-hearted.

Someone taught him a few things through personal example.

If becoming Wen Wu's friend is "easy," winning him over is a "nightmare."

Qiao Ling, who had personally set the difficulty to that level, regretted it deeply. He ground his teeth and still had to keep smiling.

Qiao Ling: Thanks for asking. I've already prepared to spend my whole life clearing this level.

Cold on the outside and colder within, a painfully slow-burn top x a beautiful bottom who throws himself at him and regrets it bitterly

* Every world features two strong leads, and neither of them is a good person.

* The romance develops in each small world. The bottom pursues the top, and once they overcome every obstacle and get together, that's the end.

* The first world: avoidance. The second: falling in love. The third: complications... roughly that sort of pace.

World One: You Don't Love Him

Lin Mo receives a mission: play a creepy, gloomy man who stalks Xu Qinghe.

He thinks the task makes no sense, but if he completes it, his younger brother will wake from a vegetative state.

His younger brother is the most important person in his life. For his sake, even though he has no idea who sent the mission or what its purpose is, Lin Mo has no choice but to accept.

Xu Qinghe is a painter who looks delicate and beautiful, and seems exactly like the sort of person a creepy pervert might target. Even though Lin Mo doesn't know him, he diligently gets to work, following him, spying on him, and taking secret photos. At last, the mission reaches its conclusion.

But when he goes to find the mysterious voice and claim his reward, the cold mechanical voice changes after a burst of static into a familiar, gentle, lingering tone.

"Sigh, big brother," says the voice that should least of all be here, as if Xu Qinghe were whispering right beside him. "You haven't noticed anything strange all this time? So big brother really is a dummy."

Lin Mo never had a younger brother. All his memories of one came from hypnosis he experienced while unconscious.

And now, at last, he understood the source of all that sticky, sinister harassment he'd endured.

His younger brother was fake, the mission was fake, and only he was real: he'd fallen straight into a demon's trap.

Fake creepy stalker x real creepy stalker

World Two: You Love Him

Yan Jingchu loves his master, Luo Zhaoyan, because his master raised and taught him with his own hands. His master taught him how to conduct himself, and even personally packed the little bundle Yan Jingchu took with him when he went down the mountain to gain experience.

Yan Jingchu loves his cultivation partner, whom he met on his travels. Gentle and kind but frail, they are like clear spring water and moonlight. Every time Yan Jingchu sees their smile, he can't help blushing.

Yan Jingchu also loves his friends and sworn brothers. They have faced life and death together and shared wine and laughter. His sworn brother is the most loyal friend imaginable, and Yan Jingchu gives him all the sincerity in his heart, practically ready to lay down his life for him.

Yan Jingchu loves many people and many things. His master raised him well, with a heart bright and sincere and eyes that always look ahead, shining like a free, cheerful little swallow.

At the happiest time of his life, he lies over a little table, writing a letter to his master one careful stroke at a time: "Master, I've been doing well lately. The world outside is so big, even bigger than I imagined. I've also met lots of people, and they've all been very kind to me..."

Before he can send the letter, everything takes a sudden turn for the worse.

His cultivation partner suddenly falls gravely ill, while his friend is trapped in a secret realm on the verge of collapse. Yan Jingchu is torn, but finally decides to get his partner to safety before rescuing his friend. When he arrives, he sees the secret realm collapse and swallow everything. When he hurries back, all he finds is his partner's cold body.

After this devastating blow, just as Yan Jingchu is overcome with grief, a warm embrace wraps around him.

"What a poor little thing," his master, Luo Zhaoyan, murmurs, gently wiping away the tears on his face. His voice is still as tender as when he used to soothe Yan Jingchu to sleep as a child. "Is the world outside still treating you well? Good boy, repeat after me: Little Swallow will always, always love Master the most."

Yan Jingchu clutches his master's robe like the only lifeline left to him. "Master..."

Luo Zhaoyan truly raised Yan Jingchu well. This little swallow is innocent and clever, but has never understood the malice in the world. So he will never know that even after leaving the mountain, he was never out of Luo Zhaoyan's sight.

He loves his master, his cultivation partner, and his close friend. But his partner and friend's bodies both conceal his master, so naturally, the person Yan Jingchu loves most is his master alone.

Genuinely bright x falsely bright

World Three: The Person You Love Isn't Him

When he was alive, Shi Nian loved Gu Zhinian with a passion that cut to the bone, willing to live or die for him. He spent most of his young life devoted to Gu Zhinian. Unfortunately, Gu Zhinian didn't love him. Gu Zhinian didn't love anyone.

Then Shi Nian died. But instead of being reincarnated, he was trapped inside the phoenix crown he had worn when he died tragically.

Time passed, the world changed, and hundreds of years went by. The phoenix crown passed through countless owners. Sometimes Shi Nian came out to scare people; sometimes he hid inside it and reminisced about his past with Gu Zhinian.

Until one day, Shi Nian climbed out of the crown and saw a familiar face.

His old love had been reincarnated and was even called Gu Zhinian again, while Shi Nian was still stuck in place, a mad, delirious ghost of a beauty.

Shi Nian made a snap decision: I'm going to seduce him. This time, I'll get the man I couldn't have before.

Gu Zhinian was as aloof and proper as ever, but the seduction worked beautifully. Shi Nian clearly saw infatuation and obsession with himself in Gu Zhinian's eyes.

But after he actually succeeded, he began to sob and lament, because the closer he grew to this Gu Zhinian, the more he missed the Gu Zhinian from his past. It turned out that even someone like him could truly love someone. The person he loved was the first Gu Zhinian.

So he made another snap decision: I'm going to be reincarnated. I want to forget all this painful entanglement.

"There's no reason you should get everything you want," Gu Zhinian says, clamping Shi Nian's jaw between his thumb and forefinger. The sweet, coppery taste of blood flows into Shi Nian's throat. The man who feeds himself to ghosts leans close and whispers, somehow even more ghostly than before. "Come on, tell me: who raised you to be so naive, foolish, and spoiled?"

A ghost who is a little humanlike x a human who isn't humanlike at all

World Four: The Person You Hate Most Is Him

* The honest one is the top. Some aren't honest, but a lunatic can turn another lunatic into an honest person.

* The fact that these two get along means the top can't be a respectable person, so he's no pushover either and will fight back.

* Lovesick men full of resentment can't bear to part, but they all get happy endings in the end.

I haven't figured out the rest yet. I'll add more later.
