The Ex-Boyfriend's Pitiful Ploy for Conquest (Quick Transmigration)

The male lead works for a quick transmigration performance agency. In each small world, he plays the scumbag ex-husband of the protagonist, who chases after his husband until he's left heartbroken, yet still fails to win him back. After he finishes the job, the audience floods him with bad reviews.

Male Lead: ?

Assistant System: You died too quickly, so the angst wasn't satisfying. The audience says the "chase-your-husband-to-the-crematorium" premise is false advertising, so you have to chase him again.

Male Lead: ...

Assistant System: Think about your seven billion star coins in prize money.

Male Lead: What prize money? That's so vulgar! What matters is giving the audience what they want!

[Modern Entertainment Industry]

As the ex-husband who kept the protagonist, he was supposed to become disabled in a car crash, then watch the protagonist and his love interest reach their happy ending from the rain like a dog. But during the first scene of his "chase your husband" arc, when he rushes to the airport to stop the protagonist from leaving, the male lead floors the accelerator and gets himself killed in a crash.

On his second run, the male lead, now in a wheelchair with both legs disabled, sees the protagonist rushing over.

His face pale, the protagonist says, "Don't be afraid. I'll take care of you from now on."

[Ancient High Martial Arts]

After being locked up, the rebellious disciple who lusts after his master is supposed to have his martial arts and meridians crippled, then barely cling to life as he watches his master find happiness. But on the first day after his confinement ends, the male lead goes all out during the sect trial and gets beaten to death by an elder.

On his second run, the extremely weak male lead is taken back to a familiar place by a familiar presence.

His master says, "Don't be afraid. I'll protect you."

Male Lead: So I really managed to win the protagonist back by playing the victim? And the audience didn't leave bad reviews?!

System: The audience who would've left bad reviews already left. The ones still watching are just here for the spectacle.

An unhinged male lead who immerses himself in self-torture x a saintly protagonist (?), who only loves beautiful, strong-but-tragic types

Reader's Note:

1. This is a dark kink that fulfills the "sickly male lead + physically torturing the male lead and emotionally torturing the protagonist" preference. Whether you find that appealing is up to you. If you don't like it, don't read.

2. Both leads are employees. The small worlds are just them playing out scenarios.

3. Remember what the System says!

Theme: Cherish the person before you.
