How Should an Ordinary Person Role-Play? [Quick Transmigration]

I’m a bottom-rung office drone from the lowest strata of society.

Dead-fish eyes with too much white, dark circles from chronic all-nighters, and baggy gray hoodies as my year-round uniform—that’s my everyday look.

I often feel like a hardcoded NPC, the most basic kind. Aside from eating, sleeping, working, and lowbrow distractions, no other actions ever load for me.

But this dull, tasteless, utterly ordinary version of me has suddenly struck romantic gold.

The suitors include, but aren’t limited to:

A bold, flirty client from the other side who slipped a hotel key card into my hand.

A pair of couple coworkers whose attitudes toward me have turned increasingly bizarre.

A superior who hints that if I’m willing to pay a certain “price,” I can climb the corporate ladder step by step.

And the high school boy next door, overflowing with lustful springtime urges toward me while pretending to be innocently pure…

I’m genuinely terrified. For an introverted everyman who dreads social interactions, this avalanche of admirers—hitting me like some overpowered buff—is enough to drive me to claw at my own ass in despair.

I let out a sigh and gazed down at the residential complex below, where luxury cars numbered 1, 2, 3, 4… sat parked. With a heavy heart, I boiled up the ninth bowl of instant noodles I’d eaten over the past few days.

Instant noodles paired with web novels.

I absolutely adore those cheesy, over-the-top quick transmigration stories. In this age of fast food, that kind of guilty-pleasure bathroom reading is perfect for a code monkey like me looking to unwind.

①. Desperate-for-an-Heir Omega Him X Honest Person Beta You

You’re an honest country bumpkin turned city worker. Even as a beta, you’ve got sun-kissed, rippling muscles that scream raw power and strength. Your widowed omega employer lost his husband young; now at the height of his allure, with a massive family empire that needs an heir, he sizes you up after careful deliberation…

But you’re just an honest person. You miss all your employer’s hints. You don’t grasp the subtle games of high society.

You’re dim, useless, straightforward—never daring to dream of social climbing. Even when your employer strips half-naked in front of you, you assume his clothes are just dirty and need laundering.

Your heart belongs solely to your beta fiancé waiting back home for you to return and marry him.

Until one day, your father falls critically ill. Your employer offers to save him—but only if you pay a certain price…

Until he bears the child that belongs to the two of you.

②. Lovestruck Devoted Husband Him X Fickle-Minded You

You often marvel at having such a caring, capable spouse. You and your husband have been together since high school.

When you graduated college and started your business, he gave up his own career, running himself ragged for your little startup until he wore his body down.

Now that the business has blown up and people outside call you “Big Boss” left and right…

The temptations multiply. At first, you hold firm, but your successful friends who’ve made it big mock you for being “henpecked” and “timid” as they indulge freely.

In a fit of anger, you wrap your arm around the slender waist of a pretty young thing by your side for the first time…

③. Rich Boy Approaching on a Bet Him X Fully Aware Phoenix Man You

You’ve always known he looks down on you behind your back, mocking your poverty and desperation. No matter—he’s just a stepping stone. You plan to latch onto his status, exploit his guilt and insecurities for cash and connections.

Of course, if he falls for you, all the better. You’re more than happy to play the doting, twenty-four-seven perfect boyfriend.

Then become the leech that drains him dry.

Once he’s wrung out and worthless, you can crush him underfoot, getting sweet revenge for his initial scorn and toying with you.

④. Your Fussing Male-Mom Shizun Him X Mama’s Boy Disciple You, Repeatedly Failed in Love

If your shizun were your mother, you’d be the textbook mama’s boy.

He raised you from childhood, giving you everything he deemed good, answering your every whim. Naturally, you’ve grown inseparable from him.

Until you meet your first crush. In that honeymoon glow, you forget everything—including your shizun.

But once the fights start, you remember your motherly shizun. You run to his arms, spilling your woes, begging for his comfort and embrace.

From then on, your romances flare hot and fast but fizzle even quicker. Luckily, your shizun is always there by your side…

⑤. Clingy Tsundere Ojou-sama Him X Envy-of-the-Rich Scheming Loser You

⑥. Unrequited Obsessive Mind-Invading Villain Him X Central AC You

When it comes to reading novels, who cares about morals and worldviews? Life is frustrating enough as it is—the more sensational and over-the-top, the better they are at helping me relax.

I clicked into the first chapter without a care in the world. The instant it loaded, my vision went black…

I’d lived all these years without ever buying into nonsense like transmigration or Quick Transmigration Systems. No way—they actually exist!

Now I was in deep trouble. I—a run-of-the-mill ordinary person, a bottom-rung corporate drone—was about to become a dark-skinned, big-chested Honest Person beta; a Fickle-Minded scumbag; a heartless, ungrateful Phoenix Man; a spiteful, rich-hating wretch; a spineless lackey; a playboy; a Mama’s Boy disciple…

Fortunately, the System assured me that if I completed the role-playing tasks, the unwanted “irresistible heartthrob” buff that had been forcibly installed on me in the real world could finally be removed.

Remembering those hellish days of being stalked, spied on, bombarded with unwanted confessions, and paraded in the open like a rat baking under the sun, I chose to compromise…
