The Male Lead's Tool Clears Away Love-Brained Characters (Quick Transmigration)

He was one step away from securing the position of supervisor at the Space-Time Administration, but got stuck at the final review before promotion.

Reason for rejection: A complaint filed under a real name remains unresolved, and karmic debt has not been cleared.

He laughed in disbelief and immediately pulled up the complaint records, wanting to see who had dared to do such a thing.

The moment he saw the complainant's name, he was completely stunned. The person who had reported him was one of his own scattered soul fragments.

Every word of the complaint struck a nerve: You got cheated on and still clung to the relationship. You were treated as a substitute and still eagerly groveled for affection. You even raised someone else's child and managed to convince yourself it was touching. It's one thing to be foolishly lovesick, but why make the people who truly care about you suffer for no reason?

He stared at the screen full of absurd, pathetic memories, utterly bewildered.

To uncover the truth and wipe clean the karmic debt he had left behind, he applied to travel back in time, returning to each ridiculous chapter of his past to clean up the mess with his own hands.

First Life: The Rich Heir Pretending to Be Poor

He was the heir to a wealthy family who had fallen out with them and gone into hiding under an assumed identity. He gave his whole heart to a beautiful lover who had been abandoned by a scumbag top.

But the scumbag top crooked a finger, and his lover turned around and went to bed with him. He stood outside the bedroom listening to their suggestive sounds half the night, without even the courage to push open the door and demand an explanation.

The scumbag top thought he was just a poor student with no connections, and framed him at every turn, leaving him in a wretched state. He stubbornly refused to ask his family for help, but ended up dragging down his father's assistant, who had been secretly helping him all along. That man, always so restrained and gentle, suffered humiliation after humiliation because of him, while he remained completely unaware from beginning to end.

In the end, all it took was his lover saying, "I choose you," for him to happily forgive every hurt.

Given another chance, he kicked the bedroom door open. The scumbag top and the wretched bottom could both get lost.

First, he would protect the person who had silently covered for him. Then he would make everyone who had schemed against them pay back twice over.

Second Life: The Uncle's Substitute

As soon as he joined the Alliance Investigation Department, the aloof Omega whom everyone admired took the initiative to show him affection. Thinking he had found true love, he fell for him with all his heart.

It wasn't until a false report arrived saying, "Uncle has come back to life," and the other man unhesitatingly shoved him into mortal danger, showing not the slightest concern for whether he lived or died, that he finally saw the truth: he had been someone else's substitute all along.

By contrast, the beta he had once helped on a whim risked everything to break in and save him.

In his previous life, his obsession spiraled out of control. He insisted on competing with his own uncle for someone whose heart was never with him.

This time, he walked away.

Whoever wants to play at the substitute trope can have it. He'll give his heart only to someone willing to risk their life for him.

Third Life: The Rescued Esper

He was the true heir of the Senwang family, lost and raised elsewhere. When his powers awakened, he assumed he was merely the weakest kind of plant esper.

A young man with a child appeared from nowhere and saved him from danger. Filled with gratitude, he fell in love over time and treated the man's child as his own, raising the child with tender care.

But to protect his wicked ex-husband, the young man concealed his identity from him from beginning to end, letting him narrowly escape death in one ambush after another. Even the "little cat" who had always stayed by his side was tortured to death by those two people's child.

Given another chance, he would first reclaim his place in the family and take back the power and strength that belonged to him.

That pair of doomed lovers who acted out such deep devotion?

What they owed him, what they did to him, he would collect back, every last bit, with interest.

He would put every melodramatic mess from each life to rest and repay all his karmic debts.

He had only wanted to reach the top and secure the supervisor's position, but he never expected that in every life he had let down, there would be someone holding on to an obsession, waiting for him life after life.
