The Frail Villain Awakens, Volume 2 [Quick Transmigration]

They were lowborn, yet immensely talented; they were geniuses, yet bullied by others, forced to endure humiliation just to survive; they suffered one misfortune after another, yet refused to accept their fate. They could have broken free from the darkness and shone with dazzling brilliance, but instead, plagued by illness, they rotted away in the swamp's mire and vanished beyond the plotline.

They are collectively known as... background characters.

Recently, a new trend has swept through the world of fiction. The abused protagonists of melodramatic novels, the devoted second male leads of sweet romance novels, the obsessive villains of revenge novels... Their unfair treatment and tragic yet compelling characterizations have stirred up readers, who have begun condemning the original novels and threatening the stability of their worlds.

The World System Headquarters has urgently dispatched countless Systems to save the protagonists, second male leads, villains... And the people they have chosen to bind with are none other than background characters from the original worlds.

Countless shooting stars streak across the sky. The geniuses who were meant to perish survive, leaving the whole world looking dim by comparison.

World One: [The Treacherous Eunuch: Willing Submission] - A sickly, bewitching princess disguised as a man X a powerful eunuch who rules the realm

Before awakening:

He curries favor with his father, gets close to his elder brother, and secretly builds up his own forces. His lifelong wish is simply to escape the palace, his cage. But the emperor has long known his true gender, and merely watches his struggles as one might watch a caged bird. In the end, he sends him away to marry a foreign ruler with a single imperial decree. He dies of illness on the journey.

After awakening:

He takes the initiative to attach himself to the powerful eunuch at court, conspires with him from within and without, poisons the emperor, places his young brother on the throne, and gains power over the realm.

That night, the alluring eunuch wraps an arm around his waist. "The princess should keep her promise." He lifts his skirt. "All right."

Everyone knows that the Grand Princess holds power over the realm, and that her only rival is the chief eunuch Jiu Qiansui, who commands the Secret Surveillance Bureau. Little do they know that in the dead of night, Jiu Qiansui, The Outcast, who stands below only one person and above all others, kneels before him and calls out with restrained longing, "Your Highness."
