[Quick Transmigration] He Always Loves in Vain

Qi Ling woke from a nightmare and suddenly saw someone lying beside him. Trembling, he made out the other person's face, jolted, and kicked him out of bed.

The young gentleman cried out in pain, got up from the floor with a frown, pointed at Qi Ling, and yelled, "What are you doing?!"

Qi Ling was about to blurt out, "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?" Luckily, the System was quick to seal his mouth.

"Shh," the System hurriedly reminded him in his mind. "Have you forgotten? You're bound to the System, signed the contract, and read the script. Now, right this instant, start acting!"

Qi Ling's gaze went blank for a moment. He slapped his head and remembered that, yes, something like that had happened.

Before he could say anything, the young gentleman he'd kicked out of bed shivered, his face streaked with tears. He prostrated himself on the floor and begged for mercy. "This servant deserves to die... Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Are you feeling unwell? Should I call for the imperial physician?"

Qi Ling: "... I had a nightmare. It wasn't your fault. It's late. Let's sleep for now."

We're both men, so what if we sleep together? Even good friends sleep together sometimes! Qi Ling, the straight guy, reassured himself as he closed his eyes.

He had no idea how much trouble he was in for as a straight guy.

[World One: Tyrant]

Qi Ling's family often jokingly called him Qilin.

His name was rather elegant, but unfortunately it was a homophone.

Thanks to his name, Qi Ling had been incredibly lucky his whole life: healthy, safe, and carefree. That lasted until his twenty-fourth birthday, when his luck ran out and a truck hit him as soon as he stepped outside.

Thanks to his name once again, he died, but not completely. His wandering soul was captured by the Love-Unrequited System, which told him that he could keep living if he acted out a few scripts.

Qi Ling was easygoing, so he agreed.

Seeing how easygoing he was, the System decided to let him experience life's harshness and chose a tyrant script that few people wanted to take. It wasn't because the tyrant was a villain that no one wanted it. It was because the tyrant's sexual orientation was a problem.

Plenty of girls wanted to take the role, but the Main System wouldn't allow it.

[World Two: Supporting Male Lead]

After living like a carefree slacker, eating and drinking well, and completing the tyrant script, Qi Ling finally experienced the System's malicious intentions firsthand. He firmly demanded a romance world.

In the second romance world, Qi Ling's main task was to raise a kid.

"Kiddo, you're not little anymore. You're thirteen. You can look after yourself." The domineering CEO Qi Ling stroked the kid's hair. "I'm not your biological father, either. Go find your mom, okay?"

This time, he was a devoted second male lead.

As everyone knows, the ones who do best in romance worlds are often devoted supporting male leads like him. And so, amid all that good food and drink, Qi Ling completed his mission safe and sound (not really).

Warnings:

1. A no-pairing quick transmigration story with an irresistible, universally adored protagonist.

2. There are no pairings, but plenty of one-sided crushes!

3. Qilin is male, and the people with one-sided crushes on him are male too. Got it? (?>?

Theme: Eat well, drink well, and live carefree!
