An ordinary, spineless corporate drone, An Ye, wakes up one day and finds himself bound to the Honest Person System. His mission is to play the one and only honest person in a world overflowing with melodramatic drama, and bring the original novel's male lead and love interest together in perfect harmony.
World One
An aloof, highly sought-after Omega professor at the empire's most prestigious university catches the eye of a promising young major general. The professor descends from his lofty pedestal for love, only to learn later that he had been treated as a replacement from the very beginning, and had nearly had his gland removed and been locked up.
Heartbroken, the professor leaves for three years. During that time, only An Ye, his "close friend" Beta, stays by his side through thick and thin, caring for him devotedly and helping him slowly recover from his pain.
Three years later, the groveling-for-forgiveness arc begins. Following the plot, An Ye goes to provoke the male lead in a clumsy fashion, only to be locked up at the base by that top-tier alpha. Desire spills from his ink-dark eyes.
"The way you don't react to me is just like he was back then."
An Ye struggles to get away from the male lead and flees home, only to be pinned against the wall the next second by the cool, refined professor, slightly tipsy after three years of being together day and night.
"When you're scared, the way you tremble is just like me. I like the scent of my pheromones clinging to you. Xiao Ye, it's dangerous outside. Don't go out again."
Wait, is this right?
World Two
A rich young master from Beijing's elite circles sets his sights on a poor, innocent young woman from the dance academy. He uses every underhanded trick to force her into a relationship, skirting the boundaries of the law.
The innocent young woman refuses to give in, and sets her sights on An Ye, the only spineless loser among the young masters of Beijing's elite circles.
When the young master hears that his "love rival" is that loser who's always been trailing behind them, he rushes to An Ye's house that night and corners him in his bedroom.
"Xiao Ye, you've grown up. How dare you compete with your big brother for things? You used to sleep in this very bed with me when you were little, didn't you?"
An Ye withstands the young master's many bizarre methods of revenge with all his might, but the innocent young woman is still drugged at a bar.
An Ye brings her back and gives her water and medicine, only for the besotted young woman to turn around and pin him to the bed.
"Xiao Ye, I feel awful. Help me."
Wait, hold on a second!
World Three
An Ye is a short-lived, disabled young master from a landowning family. The male lead's love interest is the wife his family forcibly married him to as a good-luck charm. As soon as he dies, she will become a young widow and get together with the male lead.
A true life of idleness, just waiting to die.
Unexpectedly, his good days don't last. The lecherous male lead climbs through the wrong window in the middle of the night, picks An Ye up, and runs outside. An Ye desperately pushes at him. "Wrong person, wrong person!"
The male lead pauses, hearing him, then holds the slim waist in his arms and chuckles.
"If I take you back now, you'll die anyway. You might as well die beneath a peony."
After being rescued in time, An Ye is so frightened that he loses heart. He immediately decides to divorce his husband, only to discover that none of the servants will obey him anymore.
"Young master, the madam says you've been scared silly and are talking nonsense. He's coming to your room tonight to look after you."
"My husband, your leg is injured, so just lie still, isn't that right?"
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

[What do I do when every male lead and love interest in the world is kissing me?]
[Honest people aren't meant for this.]
Reader's Guide:
1. It probably counts as a everyone-loves-him story, but the love interest is a genuinely ordinary, honest person.
2. The real male lead isn't one of the original novel's male leads. He's a splintered male lead.
3. There will be 4-5 worlds. Leave a comment if there's a world you'd like to see later.
4. The transmigration is on the slower side. Readers who only like one pairing, please beware.
