Ji Ci transmigrates into a world combining several melodramatic, angst-filled novels. The System requires him to play the miserable love interest and collect plot CGs with different scumbag love interests before he can return to his original world.
Here, he has to play the lovesick doormat, the stand-in, the plaything, and the hapless victim, all hopelessly in love with various scumbags.
Ji Ci: How hard can that be!
In a luxurious villa, a refined man tosses down a bank card without a care. "You were the one who brought up breaking up. There's five million in this card. Don't try to cling to me again."
"What, changed your mind? Think I'll beg you to stay? Dream on."
Ji Ci lowered his head, desperately suppressing the smile tugging at his lips where the scumbag couldn't see.

Yes! He was so done being a lovesick doormat!
Ji Ci wasted no time and started pursuing his next target: a cold-blooded younger wolf-dog type. He dressed to the nines every day and went to great lengths to arrange chance encounters.
Heaven rewards the diligent, and he finally got the young wolf-dog. But then his previous target suddenly went berserk and caught him kissing the young wolf-dog outside a movie theater.
The scumbag's hair was disheveled, his eyes bloodshot. He yanked Ji Ci out of the young wolf-dog's arms. "Ji Ci, you actually dared to find someone else!"
"Do you even know who you're kissing? That's my nephew!"
Ji Ci had been feeling rather troubled lately.
His targets had suddenly started acting strange and refused to cooperate with the plot.
Unhappy, Ji Ci decided to let loose.
Enjoying the devotion of a lovesick doormat while keeping a string of lovers on the side? -- Sorry, this doormat doesn't want to worship you anymore.
Still hung up on your unattainable first love while treating someone else as a stand-in?
-- Ever considered that you might be someone else's stand-in too?
Have no belief in love and treat your lover like a plaything to stave off boredom?
-- Then you shouldn't mind if that plaything gets tangled up with someone else, right?
Get close to someone for ulterior motives, using them as a stepping stone to fame and fortune?
-- Maybe you'd like to find out what it feels like to lose everything.
Think you can toy with someone's feelings just because you made a bet with your friend?
-- Let's see who can outplay whom. :)
He gave up and went all out. After a series of maneuvers, his targets started going crazy one after another.
"Ji Ci! You are not allowed to see anyone else! Come back here!"
"There's no one else in my heart now, only you. Can you forgive me?"
"Ji Ci, I don't want anything else. I only want you."
"You win, Mrs. Xiao. I admit I've fallen for you."
"Brother Ji, how about we get to know each other all over again..."
A story of scumbags suffering their comeuppance, with plenty of it to go around.
