The Ex's Roleplaying System Has Crashed [Quick Transmigration]

○ My next book will be Pure Love Warrior on a Horror Movie Set. It’s being drafted.

There’s a kind of novel where the protagonist is bad at judging people early on and gives their love to the wrong person. Only after being hurt beyond recognition do they finally wake up, kick their scumbag partner to the curb, and turn their life around, winning in both love and career.

These novels are commonly known as “new love interest, old love interest angst” stories.

Besides the protagonist and the love interest, there’s another important character who appears throughout the story and can’t be overlooked:

The protagonist’s scumbag ex-husband.

-

The Space-Time Book Bureau was in serious trouble.

An ex-husband NPC in one of its fictional worlds had awakened to self-awareness and run off without a backward glance. Before leaving, he’d hacked the bureau’s database, leaving the “ex-husband” role vacant in several worlds. Those worlds were now on the verge of collapse...

The Ex-Husband Roleplay System, N001, was given an emergency assignment: bind to Hosts and send them to the endangered worlds to fill in the crucial plot points.

After being forcibly dragged into the job and reading the cringe-inducing source novels, the Hosts looked cold and scornful. “Are you sure you’re not called the Green Hat System?”

The System made an awkward little noise. “...Host, just follow the script and be a total scumbag to the male lead. Once the rightful love interest takes his place, you can retire after a job well done!”

Host: “Got it. The scumbag ex-husband gets what’s coming to him, but I get to come back to life in style once the mission is done.”

Some time later,

The System wailed like a slaughtered pig. “Host, aaaaah...! Why is the protagonist’s affection for you going up and up even though you’ve finished all the scumbag plotlines?! Hurry up and get a divorce!!”

The Host looked at the protagonist snuggling in his arms and acting cute, then put on a practiced cold expression. “Let’s get divorced.”

Protagonist: “?”

What’s he up to now?

So today’s a divorce roleplay?

“World One: A Pheromone Mirage”

You’re a shady, despicable playboy and illegitimate son. You’re an Alpha whose reputation is already in tatters, yet your pheromones are a perfect match for those of the haughty, highborn Omega.

He has a life-threatening defect in his gland and has no choice but to marry you. After the wedding, his normally aloof personality gives way to an extreme dependence on your pheromones, and he lets you do whatever you want.

All you know is this:

He was your older brother’s former fiancé, and that more than satisfies your desire for revenge.

So you roughly grab him by the back of the neck, lean close to his ear, and sneer, “Did my brother get to taste you like this too?”

-

“World Two: Childhood Friends, Grown-Up Suspicions”

You’re an ordinary office worker. One day, you run into a friend you knew from the orphanage as a child. He’s now a household-name celebrity, and the two of you are worlds apart.

Even so, you get married.

After the wedding, you grow increasingly suspicious and controlling. Checking his phone no longer satisfies you...

At last, you lock him inside the house and repeatedly demand in a harsh voice, “Say something! Are those rumors true or not?!”

“World Three: Cultivation”

Taking advantage of someone in distress / sleazy physician ex-husband

Severely injured and amnesiac / righteous sect’s immortal lord

“Please remove your clothes, Immortal Lord. I need to examine your injuries.”

“...All right.”

“World Four: The Apocalypse”

Hands his wife over to someone else / spineless ordinary ex-husband

Obsessive, devoted black lotus / seemingly sweet but secretly dark ability-user boss

“Can’t you put up with it, for my sake?”

“World Five: Ancient Times”

Forcible love / feudal old geezer ex-husband

Low-born as a blade of grass / beautiful widowed father

“Be quiet. Your little brat is right next door.”

“World Six: Western Fantasy”

Handsome and brutal, but knows how to put on an act / duke who loves collecting beautiful people

Low-born but beautiful / manservant with incubus blood

“You’re my private property. Nothing more.”

“World Seven: Insectoid”

Fickle / transmigrated male insect

Moth to a flame / commoner female soldier

“You’re nothing but an insect specimen without a soul.”

“World Eight: I Just Don’t Want a Divorce”

Self-indulgent and impossible / ex-husband who ran away from home and was reborn

Big-hearted / devoted and loyal older brother-in-law

“That’s right. I’ve spent two lifetimes seeing this through with you.”

"Reader’s Guide"

1. Both leads are each other’s first and only, one-on-one pairing, happy ending, with a moderate-to-slow pace between worlds.

2. There may be melodrama, but beneath it is a sweet, healing heart.

3. A collection of connected arcs. The order may change as the book is written.

4. The setting is fictional and unrelated to reality. Please don’t draw real-world parallels.

5. Not suitable for readers with highly specific character preferences.
