Code Name: Wimp [Quick Transmigration]

Jiang Wei is a complete pushover, and he knows it. Ever since he was little, he’s had a bad temper but no guts, picking on those weaker than him and cowering before anyone stronger. He throws his weight around at home, and he’s a natural crybaby, too. Every day, he takes advantage of his parents’ affection to rule the household, and at school he bosses around the friends who indulge him. But the moment he runs into someone with a backbone, he panics and bolts, then shows up at his friends’ or family’s door with red-rimmed eyes, looking for comfort. Unfortunately, the System is a startup AI with a shallow understanding of human nature. It can’t see past appearances to the truth. All it noticed was the way Jiang Wei bossed everyone around, and only after arriving in a new world did it discover that he was all bluster and no bite. Its job is to send Jiang Wei into various metaverses to play a vicious cannon fodder villain. It assumed this would be a piece of cake for him, but though Jiang Wei agreed readily enough, the moment he laid eyes on the protagonist, he nearly wet himself. For example, in a Republican-era novel, Jiang Wei has to play a warlord who bullies men and takes whatever women he wants. In one scene, the warlord goes to the opera house to watch a performance and take the opportunity to mistreat the young performer he keeps. The original plot has the warlord demand to see him. When the performer refuses, the warlord takes out his pistol and tosses it backstage through the gauze curtain, ordering him to kneel and pick it up. Full of confidence, Jiang Wei sits grandly in a carved armchair. Smugly reciting his lines, he draws his pistol. “I suggest you give in to me now. Otherwise, your whole troupe of younger brothers and sisters will suffer, ” Before he can finish, the young performer’s chilling voice comes from behind the curtain. “You dare say one more word?” With a thud, the System watches helplessly as Jiang Wei and his chair topple to the floor. His pistol falls too, spinning across the floor and sliding behind the curtain. The System lets out a piercing shriek in Jiang Wei’s mind. “[Host!! What are you doing!!]” The villain’s intimidating aura is completely gone! Jiang Wei lands in a heap, looking utterly disheveled. Even one of his military boots has come off. His voice trembles in the System’s mind. “[What do I do, System? The moment I hear his voice, my arms and legs go weak. I-I don’t think I can stand up, ]” System: ... It watches Jiang Wei try to pull his boot back on while also reaching for his pistol. He can’t decide what to pick up first, and after fumbling around for ages, he still has no idea what he’s doing. Even when the young performer steps out from behind the curtain, Jiang Wei is still flailing around on the floor. The young performer: ...What is this guy doing? The System has to live on scraps every day with this spineless coward, and there’s never an end to cleaning up his messes. He misses every single plot point. By the end, the System has completely given up. That’s when it learns that even an AI can feel utterly hopeless. When the warlords plunge the country into chaos, it can’t even be bothered to speak as it watches Jiang Wei stand there, lost and helpless. Jiang Wei is deathly pale. “[System, System!! What do I do? They all have guns, ]” System: “[I’ve switched off your pain receptors. Just take the bullets, then.]” Jiang Wei: “[Aaaaaaaaaah, ]” Jiang Wei is such a coward that even in the panicked crowd, he doesn’t know to run. His limbs stiffen, and he can’t move at all. Just as an enemy officer charges forward and raises his gun at Jiang Wei, a hand suddenly reaches out from behind him, deftly draws the pistol from his belt, and fires a bullet straight between the officer’s eyes. Jiang Wei turns around in alarm. The young performer has taken off his stage costume and is looking down at him with one brow slightly raised. “How are you this useless?” · After the first world’s failure, the System tells itself that the war-torn setting was too challenging for a first try. So, for the next mission, it deliberately picks a school-life novel. Seeing how Jiang Wei usually walks around school with his chin practically in the air, it thinks he’ll finally get to show what he can do. As the illegitimate son of a wealthy family, Jiang Wei is supposed to bully the protagonist, who has just transferred into his class. He’s doing it only to stand up for his fake-young-master friend. But Jiang Wei, cast as a vicious cannon fodder villain, lasts barely a week at school before falling apart. The reason? While throwing a tantrum and bullying the protagonist, he gets told off by a righteous classmate. He immediately shuts down, hides in his dorm, and refuses to come out no matter what anyone says. He claims he never wants to study or go to school again. System: ... Fine. Let the world end. A few days later, several of Jiang Wei’s older brothers hear what happened. A whole crowd comes storming to the school, ready to take him home and give him a thorough dressing-down. But when they reach the dorm, they find Jiang Mian in the real young master’s arms, crying so hard he’s soaked a huge patch of the other boy’s T-shirt. The real young master looks unhappy, too. Holding Jiang Mian in one arm, he asks: “He’s been crying all day. What are you going to do about it?” · There are countless more incidents like these. By the end, the System is genuinely driven into despair by this spineless coward. It no longer expects him to follow the plot. It just hopes he won’t go and ruin all the male leads! A quick heads-up The protagonist is a true pushover. He’s very willful: give him a little encouragement and he’ll bloom, but raise your voice at him and he falls apart. A pampered-by-everyone story, with the gong doting on the shou. Quick transmigration. Other worlds, besides those described in the blurb, are yet to be decided. Theme: Healthy love makes both people better!
