The Background Character Who Just Wants to Clock Out

As the sole member of the Side Character Sycophant Department, Fang Qiran has to follow the heroine's moonlight lover around, fussing over him, trail the Dragon King around as his loyal underling, and act as a lovesick puppy for the heartthrob adored by everyone… Sometimes he even has to work overtime, fawning over several people in a single world. He diligently does his job as a corporate drone, thinking only of clocking out as soon as possible. [Money-grubbing corporate drone beauty gong x wild, unhinged God of the Mainframe shou] World One: The Heartthrob's Sycophant (Set in a fictional H country; heavily revised after being reported, so the plot may be messy. Read with caution.) (Bullied side-character gong x aloof heir to a conglomerate shou) Most students at Lichuan High are children of the wealthy. The school has a rigid hierarchy, and those at the top can treat those below them however they like. Fang Qiran is an ordinary student from an ordinary family, but he has a secret crush on the heartthrob at the very top of the food chain. He secretly collects things the heartthrob has thrown away, playing the part of a devoted sycophant. At last, he gets caught. The heartthrob's followers start bullying him, and the side character can't take it anymore and transfers schools. That's where his role ends. Fang Qiran happily waits to clock out. Until the heartthrob corners him in the restroom and kisses him by force, gripping his chin as he demands, “Don't you like me? Why are you running away?” Fang Qiran: I'm just a side character. Please let me go… World Two: The Wife of an Alpha-Hating Zerg (Pitiful low-ranking male Zerg gong, emotionally abused by his spouse x transmigrated female Zerg marshal shou) As a low-ranking male Zerg side character whose female spouse despises males and gives him the cold shoulder, Fang Qiran only has to play a lovesick fool: timid and withdrawn before marriage, then emotionally abused by his husband afterward. He happily waits to clock out. One day after the wedding, he suddenly realizes his female spouse is acting strangely, as if she's become a different person. Confused, Fang Qiran lets his spouse stroke his head. His body shrinks back. “I'm sorry. It was my fault. Please don't hit me again.” His spouse pulls him into her arms and says in a low voice, “It was my fault. I'm sorry I made you suffer.” The pitiful male Zerg trembles in fear in the female Zerg's arms. She comforts him, her eyes full of obsession. “I'm not him. Look carefully.” Fang Qiran: Good grief, who cares who you are? Let the side character go… World Three: The Moonlight Lover's Backup (Beautiful, strong, and tragic illegitimate son gong, treated as a backup x powerful, wild shou) Every moonlight lover has a crowd of backups, and Fang Qiran is an insignificant one among them.

In just a few days, the jealous man should have the side-character backup killed. But why is this powerful man acting so strange? Then, while Fang Qiran is in front of him, someone else picks him up in a bridal carry, and the powerful man suddenly gets to his feet. “I’m healed,” the man says coldly. Fang Qiran, dumbfounded: “You're healed?” Fang Qiran happily causes trouble while waiting to clock out, until the powerful man grabs him… “If you keep fawning over him, I'll break your legs.” World Four: The Stepping Stone for the Chosen One Fake aloof flower, truly vicious and jealous senior disciple gong x obsessive Immortal Venerable shou who falls into demonic cultivation for love; the shou is split into fragments World Five: The Dragon King's Loyal Hound Compassionate and merciful holy son gong x fragmented shou Reader's Guide: 1. Gong-focused quick transmigration. The gong enters each world in his own body, and the shou is split into fragments. 2. The setting requires it: World One takes place in H country, not China. World Two is a fictional setting unrelated to reality, so please don't compare it to real life. 3. This is a one-on-one romance. Don't reverse the CP; read with caution if that's not your thing.
