“It doesn’t have to be that deep. I’m still your ex-boyfriend, the one with the worst temper, the sharpest tongue, and the hardest punches.”
Shen Zhi binds to a System and travels to various small worlds, playing the villainous ex-boyfriend of the male lead. His job is to torment the male lead and highlight the “kindness and beauty” of the male lead’s love interest.
As a newcomer to the Space-Time Administration, Shen Zhi doesn’t dare slack off in the worlds. He strictly sticks to his cannon-fodder persona and diligently follows the plot.
But can someone tell him why the male lead ends up acting completely out of his mind and insisting on being with him, a “vicious cannon fodder”?
World One: The scheming childhood-friend ex-boyfriend who holds a favor over the male lead in a childhood-friends romance
With no parents to rely on, Shen Zhi is insecure and timid. After accidentally saving the male lead’s life, he uses that favor to demand that the wealthy and powerful male lead take responsibility for him, becoming the subject of gossip among the rich.
Shen Zhi plays his part. If the male lead raises his voice, Shen Zhi’s eyes grow red. If the male lead frowns slightly, Shen Zhi trembles in fear. If the male lead ignores him coldly, Shen Zhi feels so wronged his chest tightens.
But Shen Zhi not only avoids being dumped, he even manages to turn the bad-tempered young master into the perfect boyfriend, coaxing him into smiling as he speaks: “My little darling, I’m sorry I spoke so harshly just now. Please don’t be mad, okay?”
World Two: The beta ex-boyfriend who abandons his husband and child in an Alpha-Omega romance
As an unremarkable beta trying to get ahead in an empire ruled by Alphas and Omegas, Shen Zhi uses a scheme to have the imperial general’s child and become his spouse. When the general goes missing on the battlefield, Shen Zhi immediately gets involved with the empire’s rising star, earning the people’s contempt.
Shen Zhi plays his part. He makes sure the imperial general sees him while also keeping in touch with several “big brothers.” His opportunistic, power-hungry nature is detestable.
After the imperial general goes missing, the “big brothers” can’t wait to show up and demand that Shen Zhi take responsibility.
As Shen Zhi wavers between them, the missing imperial general returns in glory and grabs his little spouse, surrounded by a pack of wolves. “Do I have to lock you up before you’ll behave?”
World Three: The spiteful ex-boyfriend in a period drama
Shen Zhi is an educated youth who, seeing no hope of returning to the city, demands an exorbitant bride price and marries the village head’s simple-minded son. Proud and haughty, Shen Zhi enjoys the son’s attentive care while despising him as an embarrassment and mistreating him behind his back.
Shen Zhi plays his part. He never lifts a finger around the house and expects to have everything brought to him. He often goes to the fields, sits on the ridge, and orders the simple-minded man around as he works.
The reborn love interest knows that the simple-minded man is an heir to a wealthy family who was kidnapped by human traffickers. He often defends him and hurls insults at Shen Zhi.
But the simple-minded man refuses to appreciate it. Holding Shen Zhi, he tries his best to prove himself. “Wifey, don’t listen to him. Your husband is strong and healthy, just right for taking care of you.”
World Four: The gloomy, ruthless ex-boyfriend in a political intrigue story
The Crown Prince Shen Zhi is injured in an accident, loses his sight, and is stripped of his position as heir. The emperor sends the nation’s great general to protect him, but the general becomes Shen Zhi’s punching bag, subjected to wanton humiliation.
Shen Zhi plays his part. On sunny days, he trips up civil officials; on rainy days, he frames military officers. He also picks fights with the male lead from time to time, plunging the court into turmoil and misery.
The male lead’s beloved, adored by the people, is willing to help him escape Shen Zhi’s clutches on the condition that he help the love interest ascend the throne.
Forced into servitude, the male lead secretly gathers his forces. Using the slogan of purging the court of evil advisers, he leads an army to storm the palace and captures the powerless Crown Prince, making him choose: “The empress or a prisoner in chains. Pick one.”
World Five: The selfish ex-boyfriend in an apocalypse story
A medical doctor with nothing but a hollow title wants to survive the apocalypse. He deceives his ex-boyfriend, now a military leader, by claiming he can develop a serum, thereby securing protection. He greedily demands the few supplies left in the base.
Shen Zhi plays his part. He demands that his ex-boyfriend guard him around the clock and uses the supposed serum research as an excuse to exploit ability users and civilians, diverting their supplies to himself.
His ex-boyfriend awakens a mind-reading ability and learns the truth. Tempting him with a bargain, he says, “Get back together with me, and I’ll keep your secret for another day.”
World Six: The pathologically jealous ex-boyfriend in a campus romance
The aloof, distinguished campus heartthrob wears a friendly mask while being driven mad by jealousy of the cheerful, easygoing, rich male lead. Behind his back, he collects false information about the male lead and spreads rumors.
Shen Zhi plays his part, browsing the male lead’s family secrets online, coaxing personal details out of him in private conversation, and secretly forming a clique to ostracize him.
But the clever male lead becomes lovesick and corners Shen Zhi. “You’ve gone to so much trouble to learn everything about me, and you won’t let anyone else get close to me. You like me that much? Then I’ll give you a chance to be my boyfriend.”
World Seven: The despicable ex-boyfriend in a reality show story
An ambitious minor celebrity flatters and curries favor with the heir to a top entertainment company in front of the cameras, hoping to get more screen time and shoot to stardom. In private, he resents the world and viciously disparages the heir.
Shen Zhi plays his part, unaware that hidden cameras clearly capture his two-faced behavior.
After learning what Shen Zhi is really like, the pampered heir casually toys with an offer to debut. Seeing the undisguised longing in Shen Zhi’s eyes, he slowly smiles. “Keep sucking up to me, and the debut spot is yours.”

The Cannon Fodder Who Keeps Courting Death, Don’t Be So Lovable is now underway.
An ordinary passerby plays a doomed villainous cannon-fodder role in a small world, until one day he decides he wants to live a little longer.
So how can he change his destined death?
The protagonists: Don’t worry about it. I’ll just become a lovesick fool.
World One: Cannon fodder who is infatuated with the gentle second male lead
Lin Zi is the gentle second male lead’s fiancée, a country bumpkin with a terrifyingly possessive streak. He drives a wedge between the second male lead and the male lead, who is his nephew, and bullies the poor student the second male lead sponsors, who is the love interest, all to make the gentle second male lead belong to him completely.
That is, until the gentle second male lead can take no more, breaks off the engagement, and lets all the people Lin Zi has offended “deal with” him.
But now, the gentle second male lead speaks indulgently: “He’s just a child who can’t tell love from family affection. If I spoil him a little, he’ll mend his ways.”
World Two: Cannon fodder who helps the villain do evil
Lin Zi is the great villain’s loyal assistant, always at his beck and call. He personally drugs the love interest and sends him to the villain’s bed, and relentlessly targets the male lead’s company, all to please the great villain.
That is, until the male lead drives the villain’s company into bankruptcy and the villain sends Lin Zi out to die in his place.
But now, the adored male lead takes an unexpected approach: “He was only being used by a piece of trash. If he falls in love with me, he won’t do things like that anymore.”
World Three: Cannon fodder who sucks the love interest dry
Lin Zi is the love interest’s greedy ex-boyfriend. When he learns that his former lover has been recognized by a wealthy family, he uses compromising photos to blackmail both him and his powerful admirers, all to make more money.
That is, until even the saintly love interest can no longer forgive Lin Zi for demanding more and more. His numerous admirers send Lin Zi to prison and stage an accident to fake his death.
But now, the frail, helpless love interest stands firm in the face of criticism: “He just got dazzled by the wide world when he was young. If I give him a little more money, he’ll be better.”
World Four: Cannon fodder who tricks the male lead into marriage
Lin Zi is a live-in son-in-law cannon fodder to the male lead, who disguises himself as a woman. He tricks his wife’s family into supporting his studies in the capital, periodically writes home to demand large sums of money, and takes the opportunity to seduce a princess, all so he can drain his wife’s family dry.
That is, until the male lead, passing through the capital on business, discovers Lin Zi’s wicked intentions and beats him to death.
But now, the male lead, dressed as a woman, leans against Lin Zi’s shoulder. “My husband only went on a spree because he was lonely so far from home. I’ll just spend more time with him.”
World Five: The obsessive cannon fodder who abuses a straight man
Lin Zi is a pervert who covets a straight man. He secretly watches the man laughing and chatting with his friends while the man treats him with indifference. Then he secretly locks the man up and forces him to spend every day with him, all to turn him gay.
That is, until the straight man breaks down in despair, is reborn, and kills Lin Zi first.
But now, the reborn straight man is calm and composed: “He just loves me too much. I only need to agree to be with him.”
World Six: Cannon fodder foil to the arrogant cultivation protagonist
Lin Zi is an utterly ordinary second senior brother in his sect. A newly arrived junior apprentice is gifted and advances at an astonishing rate. Lin Zi secretly trips him up out of jealousy and steals his credit, all to win the sect’s attention.
That is, until the rebellious junior apprentice awakens his phoenix bloodline, gains the protection of powerful figures, and crushes Lin Zi.
But now, the brash and arrogant cultivation protagonist blushes shyly. “He just wanted me to notice him. I only need to form a cultivation partnership with him.”
Other small worlds to be decided…
The good news: Lin Zi has been completely redeemed and can keep living.
The bad news: He can only live at the side of a protagonist who is a lovesick fool.
Lin Zi: …

Theme: The future is bright.
Some people can't fly up themselves, so they want to pull people down.
Both of these people are so selfish.
Finished with flowers ~ This pair really feels good, it is the lime juice that has been stored for a long time, with a bitterness that is too long, and you can taste the slightest sweetness inadvertently [crying]
Good guy, you can patch 529
I like the two worlds of the seniors and the entertainment industry the most. I can't understand the two worlds of Prince and Doomsday. The more I look at them, the more I feel suffocated.
In so many worlds, this couple is the best to cry about. I hope there will be an extra episode.
Happy again, closed description./
Pei: I don't understand but I support it.
Spread the flowers, it's so good to watch. I fell asleep and watched it when I woke up. Every little world made me cry a little. The character setting is so fragrant. Kiss me dearly.
Wow, good guy, luckily I remembered to find this extra episode after the second playthrough! The world of zombies really tortured me to death. Finally, we have been given a legitimate title as a legend. I like the beauty crazy criticism and other things!
Congratulations to my wife on the official completion! Throw flowers! Throw flowers! Throw flowers!
