Entering the paywalled portion on Wednesday, September 25, 2024. Chapters 25-93 will be paywalled.

Li Qingshan was bound to a secret identity System.

System, in a demonic voice: If you complete the mission, I'll give you what you want.

Li Qingshan: It's a deal.

To finish the mission as quickly as possible, he had to make his secret identities stand out in other people's eyes. So Li Qingshan gave them some backstories that didn't exist.

A genius with a fire spirit root, a legendary demon king, a talisman master reincarnated from another life, a CEO reunited with a long-lost love, a ghost king who couldn't rest in peace...

To flesh out their backstories and maintain his secret identities, Li Qingshan was in a weakened state. He had planned to use the opportunity to avoid trouble, but the people around him became much more suspicious of his secret identities. They had to take action and dispel those suspicions.

The secret identities began their performances.

Demon King: You saved my life. I haven't repaid you yet, so you are not allowed to die.

Talisman Master: Become my puppet. As long as I'm alive, you won't die.

CEO: Don't worry. I'll develop a special medicine to cure you.

Ghost King: Don't be afraid. If you really die, I'll turn you into a ghost.

Rumor had it that the Foundation possessed a powerful contained entity, one that could freely enter and leave heavily guarded containment facilities, easily deal with all kinds of monsters and ghosts, and, most importantly, attract the most outstanding people...

A fire-root genius stayed by its side and died for it; the Demon King willingly served it, asking only to repay a debt; a young talisman master felt an instant affinity for it and let it command him...

A senior member of the Foundation warned a newcomer: Even people that powerful have fallen under its spell. If you get close, you'll never get out unscathed. Be very careful.

Contained Entity Li Qingshan: You misunderstand overworked office workers with at least three jobs to do in a twenty-four-hour day.

Of course my secret identities live and die for me and listen to me, right?

The following bonus scenes may not be included:

A Foundation member reads the report: ...You have a life-size figurine in the ancient Demon King's cave. It was stuffed with poisonous insects, then stolen by an unwitting robber and burned until only two teeth remained. Can you sense it?

Li Qingshan: No.

Foundation: The talisman master sprinkled a ring of white powder in a flowerpot to tend the soil. The soil insects turned into corpses and blood. A child passing by tasted some and accidentally knocked it over, revealing your head inside?

Li Qingshan: I heard it helps you grow well.

Foundation: Your name was next to what looked like used aphrodisiacs on the CEO's desk?

Li Qingshan: I didn't buy those!

Foundation: What about the explosions nearby while the Ghost King was with you at night?

Li Qingshan: A female ghost insisted on giving him human-milk-scented perfume as a greeting gift. She ran into a foul-mouthed parrot, they started arguing, and she lost. She threw the perfume at the parrot, and it exploded.

The original and his secret identities are drawn together on a soul level.

Upcoming novel, After Playing a Charming Villainous Side Character, blurb:

After dying in an accident, Nan Juzi was bound to a System that made him play villainous side characters. The System told him that if he accepted the mission and played his role, he could be revived on the spot and receive a reward of tens of millions. Nan Juzi agreed without hesitation.

In the story, Nan Juzi was a poor student who was timid, petty, competitive, and two-faced.

On the surface, he was the protagonist, a crown prince's roommate, and the innocent junior schoolmate of an important character, the youngest chief councilor in history. In secret, he was also a distant relative of the suspected mastermind villain, an interstellar tycoon, so distantly related that they were barely connected.

He followed the tycoon's enticements and secretly stole the crown prince's watch to sell it for money. He also pretended to be careless while hiding the chief councilor's speech. After graduation, he sneaked into the tycoon's party and slipped into his study to steal business secrets, but was caught, and his past misdeeds were exposed all at once.

After that, his reputation in tatters and with nowhere to turn, he jumped off a building and killed himself.

As soon as Nan Juzi entered the story, he followed his mission and approached the important characters, diligently making life difficult for them behind their backs.

But when the protagonist caught him taking the watch, he was supposed to look down on him. Why was he now stroking Nan Juzi's head with a kindly expression, telling him to come for help if he was short on money, and even giving him the watch outright?!

When the chief councilor caught him hiding the speech, he was supposed to fly into a rage. Why was he now comforting him gently, saying it was fine as long as they'd found it?

When the tycoon caught him stealing confidential information, he was supposed to watch him on the security cameras and look down at him as he called him an idiot. Why was he now leaning in the doorway, smiling as he swirled a glass of red wine, as though watching his pet cat play with a feather toy?

Aaaah, stop interfering with my mission!

The protagonist is a heartthrob, and everyone who likes him is a fragment. There are lots of one-sided crushes, and there may be selfcest.

Theme: The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from enduring the bitter cold
