The Heartless Simp [Quick Transmigration]

Which novel protagonist these days doesn't have a few devoted admirers? The only difference is whether they're minor or major admirers. The most devoted cannon fodder characters are often shamelessly persistent, infamous for throwing money and their lives at the protagonist, and willingly serving as stepping stones for them.

But what if these devoted admirers had Systems?

001 was an admirer System. Unlike all those other flashy Systems, it was a coldhearted fan, focused only on money and determined to keep its devotion all talk and no feelings.

Its Host was even more calculating than it was. They wanted to bring breakfast to the protagonist's idealized first love, deliver an umbrella in the rain, provide cultivation resources, livestream a heartfelt confession, hand over a kingdom at court, and serve as a stepping stone in the entertainment industry...

In a word: incredible!

The fake admirer, a real worker, smiled politely. "It's just a job, nothing shameful about making money. I only have to put on an act and make a few token gestures now and then. It's nowhere near as exhausting as a 996 or 007 work schedule. This job really isn't hard."

After saying this, Han Jiahe looked at the long string of zeroes in his real-life bank account and smiled broadly.

I'm really not suffering. You don't have to feel sorry for me.

It's just like playing an NPC in a game. The pay is great, and I get to try all kinds of roles.

But could these idealized first loves please stop going out of character?

You're making it really hard for me to play the devoted admirer.
