Yin Zhi has spent three hundred years transmigrating into books, doing the work of an entire team for one person's salary.
As a stumbling block on the protagonist's path to godhood, he is determined to master all 360 trades. A villainous cannon-fodder is like a brick: wherever he's needed, that's where he goes.

Yin Zhi spent years playing the cruel cousin who bullied the protagonist. At last, the protagonist rose to prominence and met the destined benefactor: a noble, pure female immortal honored as the protagonist's destined love, who was about to sacrifice herself for the Great Dao. With one sword stroke, she sent him off according to the plot. Since it hurt so much, he decided to secretly take revenge with a spell before he died. But the female immortal suddenly stepped on a banana peel and fell, letting out a man's voice.
The protagonist fell out of love on the spot.

Yin Zhi hurried to his next set, playing a cannon-fodder villainess who pretended to admire the protagonist but actually intended to plant demonic energy in him, only to be killed by the protagonist's future master.
Yin Zhi was so dedicated that every night he drifted outside the protagonist's room and recited love poems to him for a week.
Instead, the protagonist's master began looking at him more and more strangely.
On the night his identity was exposed, he used the cannon fodder's bewitching art, trying to tempt the protagonist into falling to the demonic path with his voice.
The protagonist's master said, "Did a donkey kick you in the throat?"
Yin Zhi couldn't hold back and argued with him all night.
The protagonist: "..."

Yin Zhi transmigrated into a book two hundred years early. Then, one day, he fell in love at first sight with a mortal. He decided to give it a try, grow old with him, and then fake his death so they could be buried together. He thought they would live in peace from then on, but...
While playing a cannon fodder who coveted the protagonist's opportunities, an old man who had passed on after imparting his cultivation to the protagonist mysteriously came back to life. He seized the young man's pulse point, clearly up to no good.
"You lied to me. How many people have you recited that same love letter to?"
Yin Zhi, who was supposed to be shot through the heart: "...You're a fellow wage slave too?"

Later, the great villain, the Demon Venerable, emerged from years of seclusion and began recruiting male concubines. Just as the protagonist was captured and about to be humiliated, the Immortal Venerable stepped forward. "He's still young. I'll take his place."
The protagonist was devastated. "Master!"
The Demon Venerable looked wickedly amused, though a little puzzled. "Why not have you two master and disciple serve me together?"
After protecting the protagonist and helping him escape, Li Chu wiped the blood from his face and calmly asked, "Do you think one person isn't enough?"
Yin Zhi: "...We're all in this line of work. What happened to the plot? Did you eat it? Get back there, now!"
