What happens when an extremely stingy "company" hires you?
Rong Jing: Thanks for asking. I'm at the Time Bureau, and I've already worked for free in three minor worlds. Now I don't even have money for food, and I'm about to sell myself to the Time Bureau.
He's getting worse and worse at being a villain. Is he failing, or failing?
He'll probably have to be called a kindred spirit to another great historical figure. No, he's worse off. That great man had a younger brother to bail him out. All Rong Jing can do is keep getting demoted and having his pay docked. Even a wage slave has it better than him.
A gorgeous, goofy seme who tries hard to turn evil as a villain but ends up becoming best friends with the protagonist instead X a shou who tries hard to reform the seme and has an intense possessive streak.
First mini-world: CEO X secretary
Rong Jing stood on the rooftop of a skyscraper that reached into the clouds. "I want to fly higher."
Lu Jinshu grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, controlling his fate. "No, you don't."
Rong Jing watched the lovestruck heroine turn into a workaholic, step by step, and wept with despair. My points! My rating! Heroine, turn around and look at the male lead!
Popular starlet X best actor
Rong Jing lay on the bed, counting pills. "One, two... Once I've taken these, I can successfully keep my head down."
Lu Jinshu kicked open the door. "You're sleeping with me tonight."
Male lead, stop focusing on your career and go dote on the heroine! She's about to run off with the second male lead!
Shadow guard X regent
Rong Jing crouched beside the wardrobe. "As long as he takes this sword for the regent, he can complete his role's mission perfectly."
Lu Jinshu dispatched the assassin without hesitation, then looked at Rong Jing, trembling in the corner, and said in a low voice, "Rong Jing has done well protecting his master. Send him to my chambers tonight."
Rong Jing watched the protagonist seme head off to the northwest, tears streaming down his face. I feel like there's still a chance to salvage the relationship between you two.
... (I'll add more once I've thought it through.)
P.S. The seme transmigrates in body, while the shou transmigrates in soul.
Due to unavoidable circumstances, the seme doesn't remember the shou in any of the worlds, but the shou remembers the seme.
Premise: Keep going.
