Qin Xingzhi, 20 years old, an ordinary human being, was working a fantastic part-time job beating up Lemon Tea when he encountered the System. After a few brief words, he set off on a journey to transmigrate.
The young man stumbled into an alley and braced himself against the wall. Under the gloomy sky, he asked in surprise, "So my mission is to accurately identify every protagonist in this world, where multiple novels have been mashed together?"
Qin Xingzhi blinked twice and said quietly, "That sounds a little difficult."
"Once you succeed, you'll become a permanent employee of the Transmigration Bureau. Your bonus will be this much." The System projected an enormous figure onto the ground in golden light. Then it added, "Don't worry. Once you find someone, you'll automatically be assigned a background-character identity. The protagonist will be somewhere that identity can reach, so it won't be too difficult."
"Mission accepted." Qin Xingzhi's attitude changed instantly.
At first, Qin Xingzhi thought the protagonists would be incredibly hard to find. But later, he discovered a few perfect tricks for tracking them down quickly.
First, befriend the person he suspects. Then listen to everyone's troubles and pick out the most likely candidate from among them. Qin Xingzhi was practically a natural at this. As soon as he found one, he left without hesitation to look for the next. And so he found the future Dragon King who would be dumped by his fiancee, the angst-ridden protagonist of a tragic romance, the protagonist of an unspeakable world of erotic intrigue...
After finding four or five, Qin Xingzhi began to sense something was off. Every single protagonist seemed to be male. He dismissed the thought almost immediately. Maybe it was just a coincidence.
But as he continued his mission, things started to feel wrong. A yandere man took his hand and pressed it against his own heart. The Dragon King stammered that he was already old enough to get married. In front of him was the embrace of a cool, aloof senior colleague; behind him was a thoughtful dinner prepared by a man wearing an apron.
Qin Xingzhi thought calmly. Qin Xingzhi tried hard to think. Qin Xingzhi gave up thinking.
He shook his head and laughed helplessly. That guess was way too outrageous. These were all genuine novel protagonists, and they were definitely straight as arrows.
The System: "...Host, actually, the worlds we've entered are all danmei novels merged together."
Qin Xingzhi: "???!!!"
