How Did This Trouble-Making Cannon Fodder Become Everyone's Favorite? [Quick Transmigration]

“Don’t say another word. I’m really not going to get fooled by Lin Zi this time. I’ll pretend he’s got me wrapped around his finger, but it’s all part of my plan. I know what I’m doing.” A passerby is cast in small worlds as a doomed villainous cannon fodder, until one day he decides he wants to live a little longer. So how can he change his inevitable death? Protagonist: Don’t worry about it. I’ll just become a lovesick idiot. World One: The real young master cannon fodder who picks a fight with the fake young master Lin Zi was the real young master, switched by accident at birth. After being brought back, he aggressively seized everything that belonged to the fake young master and bossed around his cold biological older brother. He made unreasonable demands of his unfeeling father, expecting him to indulge his every whim, all so he could reclaim what should have been his. Eventually, even the wealthy family, who had felt guilty toward him, found his behavior too vile to tolerate. He exhausted the last of their affection and was driven out. But now, his adoptive older brother, who had loved him like a parent, brought him home: “So what if a kid is a little bossy? He was doted on in our home from the time he was little. If you can’t afford to raise him, you shouldn’t have taken him in.” World Two: The obsessive cannon fodder who abuses a straight man Lin Zi is a pervert who lusts after straight men. He secretly watches as the straight man laughs and talks with his friends, while treating Lin Zi with cold indifference. Lin Zi eventually locks him away and forces him to spend every day at his side, all so he can turn him gay. Until the straight man breaks down in despair and, after being reborn, kills Lin Zi first. But now, the reborn straight man is perfectly calm: “He just loves me too much. I only need to agree to be with him.” World Three: The cannon fodder who bleeds the protagonist uke dry Lin Zi is the greedy ex-boyfriend of the protagonist uke. After learning that his ex has been taken back by a wealthy family, he uses compromising photos of him to blackmail him and the powerful suitors behind him, all so he can make more money. Eventually, even the saintly protagonist uke can’t forgive Lin Zi for asking for money again and again. His many admirers send Lin Zi to prison and arrange for his death to look like an accident. But now, the frail protagonist uke stands firm despite the criticism: “He was just too young and got dazzled by the big, wide world. If I give him more money, he’ll be fine.” World Four: The disfigured cannon fodder in an infinite-flow novel Lin Zi is a burden to the decisive protagonist seme. He does nothing but cling to him to mooch experience, and he resents the protagonist uke for attracting supernatural beings. He repeatedly does stupid things that put both protagonists in danger, all so he can earn more points. Until the protagonist couple figures out the cause and crushes Lin Zi, that jumping, scurrying little ant. But now, the great villain boss sniffs Lin Zi with infatuation: “Baby, you smell so good.” World Five: The cannon fodder obsessed with the gentle second male lead Lin Zi is the country bumpkin fiancée of the gentle second male lead. He has a terrifying possessiveness toward him, drives a wedge between him and his uncle, the protagonist seme, and bullies the impoverished student the second male lead supports, the protagonist uke, all so the gentle second male lead will belong to him completely. Eventually, the second male lead can’t take any more and breaks off the engagement, leaving Lin Zi to be “dealt with” by everyone he has offended. But now, the gentle second male lead speaks indulgently: “He’s just a child who can’t tell romantic love from family affection. If we spoil him a little, he’ll mend his ways.” World Six: The traffic-star cannon fodder who bullies an award-winning actor Lin Zi is a popular traffic star who made it big on his looks. He appears in a gay movie and courts publicity by pairing himself with every male star in it, pays for trending black-search topics about an award-winning actor making a comeback, and throws his weight around with the entertainment-industry heir whose identity is a secret, all to build an image as a star of serious films. Until the movie comes out and Lin Zi’s atrocious acting lands him on the trending lists to be mocked, after which the award-winning actor and the heir join forces to blacklist him. But now, the award-winning actor admits on the spot: “He just thought I was too dazzling and got jealous. I can go back behind the scenes and keep away from other people.” World Seven: The brainless cannon-fodder uke who torments the wretched uke Lin Zi is the son of a disgraced official, sold to a brothel. The lecherous playboy prince of the Yu Dynasty buys his freedom and makes him a cherished concubine. Lin Zi then frames the chancellor’s legitimate son, gives him an aphrodisiac, accuses him of adultery, and falsely claims he caused Lin Zi to miscarry, all so he can become the prince’s consort. Until the chancellor’s son is reborn and decisively abandons the dog of a prince who favors his concubine over his wife. He throws himself into the arms of the virtuous crown prince who loved him with all his heart in his previous life, gets to watch the prince suffer through a spectacular redemption arc, and slaps the brainless cannon fodder Lin Zi in the face. But now, the dog prince remains devoted: “He just wants a more noble status. He only needs to become empress.” World Eight: The cannon-fodder foil to the Dragon King Lin Zi is an unremarkable second senior brother in his sect. A new junior brother arrives, gifted and so fast at cultivation that he leaves everyone in the dust. Jealous, Lin Zi secretly trips him up and steals his achievements, all so the sect will pay more attention to him. Until the proud, unruly junior brother awakens his phoenix bloodline, gains the protection of powerful figures, and crushes Lin Zi. But now, the flamboyant, arrogant Dragon King blushes shyly: “He just wants my attention. I only need to become his cultivation partner.” World Nine: The toady cannon fodder in a period novel Lin Zi is a lackey to the great villain. He throws his weight around under the villain’s protection, targets and persecutes educated youths sent to the countryside, and reports the forbidden, socially unacceptable relationship between the protagonist seme and uke, all so he can avoid hard labor and return to the city as soon as possible. Until the protagonist seme successfully returns to the city and makes a fortune through hard work, then spends a fortune tracking Lin Zi down to exact ruthless revenge. But now, the ruthless villain effortlessly shields him: “Sorry, I’m richer than you. If you want to touch him, you’ll have to get past me first.” Other small worlds to be decided… The good news: He’s been redeemed so thoroughly that he gets to keep living. The bad news: He can only live at the side of a protagonist who’s a lovesick idiot. Lin Zi: … Reader’s Guide 1. Both leads are each other’s first and only. 2.
