Playing Background Character A in N Over-the-Top Romance Novels at Once

Everyone knows that every novel has a character like this: someone who seems important but has no real presence, only stepping in to lend a hand at crucial moments. Lin Chuheng plays exactly this kind of background character, but because he's so capable, he often ends up taking on several roles at once. For example: The butler in a melodramatic substitute romance who says, "It's been so long since I saw the young master smile." The teacher in a school romance who breaks up young couples because students aren't allowed to date. The doctor in a domineering-love story who says, "You called me over for this little injury?" The executive assistant in an enemies-to-lovers story who books a plane ticket in the middle of the night to help his boss win back his sweetheart. The minor actor who sticks by the protagonist in a showbiz sugar daddy story, and so on... The great thing about being a background character is that you have few lines and few appearances, but the pay is decent. It's an excellent deal. Lin Chuheng works diligently every day, playing background characters in different novels. Then one day, viewers notice that a minor actor from all those cheap, cheesy films can disappear completely into any role: butler, teacher, doctor, executive assistant, even a psychopathic murderer. Viewers: That doesn't look like acting. Someone should investigate! And just like that, Lin Chuheng becomes inexplicably famous. Overnight sensation and newly crowned Best Actor Lin Chuheng is horrified to discover that, on top of becoming famous and having his identity exposed, the worlds of all those novels have somehow merged, and he's become everyone's beloved. The substitute from the melodramatic substitute romance: "Manager Lin, would you consider giving me a chance?" The domineering CEO from the forceful-love story: "How did I never realize Dr. Lin was so good at taking care of people?" The kept lover from the showbiz sugar daddy story: "You're the one I love, the one who's always been by my side." Lin Chuheng: ... No! What happened to being an invisible background character? And why does he keep running into the same person in all these different worlds? The moonlight of the substitute romance is him. The parent in the school romance is him. The friend in the forceful-love story is him. Even the business partner in the enemies-to-lovers story is him! * One day after his identity has been exposed, Lin Chuheng receives a new assignment to play a new role. The moment he arrives at the location, someone pins him against the door and kisses him. Lin Chuheng: ... Not again! This is seriously getting in the way of my work! [Updates around 10:30 p.m.] A few reading tips: 1. The romance is sparse in the early chapters. 2. It's a lighthearted comedy with very little logic. Please proceed with caution if that's not your thing. New upcoming novel: "The Real Young Master Returns to the Countryside to Be a Veterinarian [Livestream]". If you're interested, please add it to your collection~ Shen Qinghuai had awakened the ability to command beasts in a post-apocalyptic world. One moment he was fleeing for his life, and the next he was back where he came from. Here, he grew up in a village. Just before graduating from university, the wealthy Song family from the city came looking for him, claiming he was their biological son. But Shen Qinghuai knew the reunion was a sham, meant to make the fake young master look good. He was merely the contrast character in a true-versus-fake young master story, an NPC who could never fit into the family no matter how hard he tried. The fate of a contrast character can be summed up in one word: miserable. Tired of constant competition and living on edge, Shen Qinghuai immediately decides to leave the city and return to the countryside, where he can enjoy retirement early. * Back in the countryside, Shen Qinghuai puts his beast-taming skills and years of experience to work. He opens a small clinic to treat the village animals and starts offering consultations by Livestream. At first, everyone looks down on this country veterinarian. [What could some bumpkin from the sticks possibly know?] [Do you even have a license? Even the smallest animal is a life, and treating them on Livestream is irresponsible!] That is, until someone comes to his door looking for trouble... Troublemaking viewer A claims his dog likes to pee and poop all over the house at night, no matter how often he's scolded. The dog also refuses to let him take it downstairs to go potty, only letting his girlfriend take it. They've tried all kinds of treatments, but nothing works. The dog on screen: You old geezer, what do you know? There's no good food when I go downstairs with you. When I go with your girlfriend, I can have as many tasty cans as I want. Shen Qinghuai: There's nothing wrong with your dog. The problem is your girlfriend. Viewer A and everyone else: ??? Disbelieving viewer B asks why her cat keeps baring its teeth at her after being neutered, always provoking and snarling at her. The cat on screen: #$%&*@%^&&*%! Shen Qinghuai: Why don't you take a closer look at your cat? It's been wronged more than Dou E. Viewer B: ??? Everyone had been skeptical, until they saw viewer A get into a fight with the other man in his girlfriend's life, and viewer B cling to her cat, sobbing as she confessed her remorse. On top of that, treatments that cost hundreds or thousands in the city only cost two digits here... Two digits... Everyone fell silent, then hailed him as a miracle doctor and scrambled to get on a call with him. A kindhearted visitor comes asking for help, only to learn that the dog already has an owner... A cat keeps shaking its head while drinking water. It looks like epilepsy, but the cause is impossible to find... A giant panda suddenly stops eating and drinking, as if it's depressed... Shen Qinghuai quickly solves all kinds of difficult cases. Many wealthy and influential people seek him out, willing to pay enormous sums just to have him treat their sick pets. When the Song family hears that Shen Qinghuai is going back to the countryside, they all assume he's just throwing a tantrum. There's no way he'd give up their comfortable life. He'll come back once he's had time to think it over. But as they wait, they hear that Shen Qinghuai's Livestream has gone viral and that he's made the trending lists again and again. Meanwhile, the story of how they cast aside their own flesh and blood has become common knowledge, and everyone despises them. [Bonus scene] After Shen Qinghuai's Livestream goes viral, a variety show happens to choose his village as its filming location. The star-studded lineup reportedly includes Lu Yanshi, an award-winning actor who usually avoids the spotlight. The show becomes a sensation before it even airs, with everyone watching eagerly. But on the first day of filming, viewers notice that the little yellow dog from the village vet's place seems awfully familiar with the award-winning actor. As soon as he gets out of the car, the dog starts fawning over him, wagging its tail like a helicopter! Viewers: Dogs don't lie. There's definitely something going on between these two! Theme: Be brave, work hard, and keep looking on the bright side.
