After dying unexpectedly, Nan Juzi is bound to a system that makes him play a scummy supporting character. The System tells him that if he accepts the mission and plays the role, he can come back to life on the spot and receive a ten-million reward. Nan Juzi agrees without hesitation.

In the story, Nan Juzi is a poor student who is timid and cowardly, fiercely competitive, and two-faced.

On the surface, he's the roommate of the protagonist, the Crown Prince, and the innocent junior of the story's most important supporting character, the youngest chief minister in history. In secret, he's also a distant relative, several times removed, of the interstellar tycoon who may be the real villain behind everything.

He not only gives in to the tycoon's temptation and secretly steals the Crown Prince's watch to sell it, but also pretends to casually hide the chief minister's speech. After graduation, he sneaks into the tycoon's banquet and breaks into his study to steal business secrets, where he's caught and all his past misdeeds are exposed.

After that, his reputation is ruined, he's at the end of his rope, and he jumps to his death.

As soon as Nan Juzi enters the story, he follows his mission and approaches the important characters, then diligently makes life difficult for them behind their backs.

But when the protagonist catches him stealing the watch, shouldn't he be looking down on him with contempt? Why is he now patting Nan Juzi's head with a kind expression, telling him to come to him if he's having money troubles, and even giving him the watch outright?!

When the chief minister finds him hiding the speech, shouldn't he be furious? Why is he now comforting Nan Juzi gently, saying it's all right as long as they've found it?

When the tycoon catches him stealing secrets, shouldn't he be watching from the surveillance room and looking down on him as he calls him an idiot? Why is he now leaning in the doorway, smiling as he swirls his wine glass, looking like he's watching his pet cat play with a teaser toy?

Ahhh, stop getting in the way of me completing my mission!

The protagonist is universally adored. Everyone who likes him is a fragment of him, with lots of one-sided crushes, and possibly selfcest.

Ongoing: Everyone Thinks My Secret Identities Are Entangled in Love and Hate

The former emperor, Li Baihe, is imprisoned by the current ruler in a villa halfway up a mountain. One night, a second person's shadow suddenly appears inside the villa, and the current ruler flies into a rage and orders a full investigation.

At the same time, strange and extremely dangerous incidents suddenly occur all over the world.

An old case from many years ago resurfaces.

Rumor has it that the world once suffered a calamity many years ago, and a mysterious person saved it from disaster.

At the time, the emperor was deeply grateful to the mysterious person. He made him the Imperial Preceptor, bestowed a thousand acres of fertile land and a hundred taels of gold upon him, invited him to live and dine together, and offered to become sworn brothers.

The mysterious person couldn't refuse and had no choice but to stay.

Later, everyone knew the Imperial Preceptor but not the emperor. The emperor grew deeply suspicious and personally offered the Imperial Preceptor a bowl of medicine, poisoning him to death. Before he died, the Imperial Preceptor swore that he would have his revenge, even if he had to cease being human to do so.

The emperor lived in constant fear, so he shaved his head and became a monk. He spent his days before the Buddha and eventually killed himself.

When people learned the story, their feelings were complicated, but they couldn't help asking, "Have the two of them rekindled their relationship now?"

When the mysterious figure from the legend appeared, apparently sneaking into the reincarnated emperor's tent every night, people were stunned. "Why is he getting revenge at night?"

Later, when people heard about the many entanglements between the two, they nodded thoughtfully. "I see. That makes sense!"

Li Baihe, who was rumored to be the reincarnation of the emperor and possibly the supposedly dead former emperor, couldn't help asking, "What do you understand?"

The people said, "The emperor must have fallen deeply in love with the mysterious person in this life, and the mysterious person couldn't bring himself to kill him, which is why he's dragged this out for so long!"

Li Baihe: "..." Nothing of the sort.

He is the former emperor, and it is true that the current ruler has imprisoned him in a villa halfway up a mountain. But there is no mysterious person. That is merely a secret identity he summoned with the System because he was so bored living alone in the villa.

Ongoing: The Cthulhu Convenience Store

You take part in a management game. If you can satisfy the one special customer, you can beat the game and win a prize of ninety-nine million.

But as soon as you enter the game, the System suddenly disappears.

Fortunately, before entering the game, you looked up what the special customer looked like. He has a tiny red mole at the corner of his eye, no bigger than a pinprick. No one else has one, so you can't possibly mistake him for someone else.

Unfortunately, you're extremely nearsighted and don't have your glasses.

But you believe you can find the special customer and beat the game, because if you get close enough, you can still see the tiny moles on people's faces.

You decide that whenever a customer comes in, you'll find some way to get close and take a look.

Just as you're feeling confident, you discover that more than one customer has entered the store. You try to get close to them, only to find that every one of them has a red mole on his face!

A very young university professor pushes up his glasses. "What are you looking at? If you can't see, get a pair of glasses."

A dark-skinned, well-built student athlete clenches his fist to show off his muscles. "Jealous of my muscles? I can teach you how to work out."

A lively, smiling, curly-haired man lifts his head with a lollipop between his fingers. "Do I know you? Be careful tonight."

A gloomy, long-haired mystery man wordlessly shakes the droplets of water off his clothes. "How many people have you used that trick on? How old-fashioned."

You can't make sense of it.

Why does everyone have a red mole? Did the System malfunction along with the game? And will you still get the money?

The System suddenly appears, screaming in broken bursts: "This is a Cthulhu game! Run!"

After a burst of static, the System falls silent as if it has vanished.

Viscous tentacles cover your eyes, giant suckers press against your body, and countless inexplicable teeth rub against your skin. Goosebumps rise all over you, but you can't move.

A muffled voice speaks. At the same time, the tentacles tighten until you can barely breathe.

You hear the voice say, "Stay..."
