A story about someone who looks like a simp, but is actually a master manipulator.

An accident at the Transmigration Bureau causes three novels to merge into one world.

The total “world luck” is limited — with three male leads now in the same world, each of them receives less than they should. This leads to stalled careers and the inability to attract the main shou.

To fix this flaw, the Bureau binds Nan Pei to the “Devoted Side Character System”, assigning him to play the obsessive side character for all three male leads.

On the surface, he’s a clingy, shameless simp — annoying and persistent.

But in reality, his task is to boost each male lead’s career, helping them rise to the top of their industries.

Once they’ve made it big and attracted the true protagonist shou, Nan Pei must quietly withdraw and offer his blessings, so the original plot can unfold smoothly.

However, all three storylines are running simultaneously.

Nan Pei has to provide resources to all three male leads — without letting any of them discover the others exist.

At first:

Cold CEO: “Even if you give me everything, you’re just a tool to me.”

E-sports Puppy: “You helped me achieve my dream, but there’s no way I’ll fall for you.”

Popular Idol: “You may get me resources, but you’ll never have my heart.”

Nan Pei: “As long as you succeed, I’ll give my all without regrets.”

Everyone thinks Nan Pei is a pitiful little simp.

But Nan Pei’s inner thoughts? “This mission’s actually pretty chill — as long as I don’t accidentally send the wrong gifts, it’s smooth sailing.”

And even if he does send the wrong one, whatever. It’s not like they’re gonna open them anyway.

Until…

CEO: “Since you like me so much, I’ll grudgingly accept you.”

Puppy: “If you insist on chasing me, I guess I’ll give you a shot.”

Idol: “You’re not really my type… but I’ll give it a try.”

Nan Pei: “???”

“I’m just here to do my job! I don’t actually like you guys! Please, let me go — just think of me as doing charity work!”

But then…

One day, three men show up at Nan Pei’s doorstep —

Each holding a long-forgotten gift he gave them, now dug back out, furious and confused:

“Who the hell is ‘Dear Duan Heng’ in this letter? When did we ever play games together?!”

“Why give me a briefcase? I don’t even work in an office! And why does the card inside say ‘President Song’?!”

“I hate this perfume! The initials at the bottom aren’t even mine. Who the hell is LBR?!”

“Nan Pei — what the hell is going on?!”
