Quick Transmigration: Male Lead, Please Follow the Script! - Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Love Variety in Progress (1)

“You call this an SSR skill?“

The corners of Ren Yi’s mouth, which had been slightly upturned in anticipation, froze instantly when he saw the electronic screen in front of him.

The screen displayed four golden characters: “Absolute Gravity.” The edges of the font were even sparkling, there was no doubt this special effect signified an SSR skill.

“Absolute Gravity: This is a permanent skill that will continuously apply an attraction buff to you during your acting missions. It increases your personal beauty and temperament stats by thirty percent. Congratulations, Actor! With this skill, you will be loved by all who see you, flowers will bloom in your presence, and cars will blow their tires just to stop for you! A person as perfect as you even seems to have fragrant breath~”

Ren Yi’s inner thoughts at this moment were maybe:

Good news: Yay, I pulled an SSR skill!

Bad news: This damn skill is useless to him!

Ren Yi was a newcomer to the Villain Roleplay Department of the Quick Transmigration Bureau. Today was his first day on a mission.

He thought that as a villain actor who would engage in battles of wits and courage with various protagonists in the future, he would pull a domineering, cool, and heaven-defying skill—who could tell him what use this Absolute Gravity skill had?

This was practically dying before the battle has even begun, okay!

However, it was too late to change anything now; he had to accept the reality that he had pulled a trash skill.

Ren Yi sighed and opened his eyes.

“Hello, Actor. The script is about to be transmitted. Please perform the character according to the script.“

A novel titled “Love Variety in Progress” immediately appeared in Ren Yi’s mind. It told the story of the entertainment industry’s infamous male lead shou who participated in a dating show to clear his name, became a huge hit, and successfully ended up with the Movie Star male lead gong.

The villainous character he had to play was, naturally, the flavor enhancer in their relationship. To become famous on the show, he resorted to any means possible, creating all sorts of trouble. One could say he carried the word “attention-seeker” to the very end.

Looking at the end of the script, sure enough, he ended up being blacklisted by the entire internet.

“This acting mission is pretty brainless, it’s just pure troublemaking. Even without pulling a powerful skill, I feel I can definitely handle it. Ah~ I can almost see my SSS rating when the script settles!“

Ren Yi felt quite smug at this moment, unaware that a certain useless skill he spoke of would make him wish he were dead in the future.

However, Ren Yi couldn’t be blamed for his arrogance; he had the capital to be arrogant.

He was originally chosen to work in the Roleplay Department precisely because of his outstanding acting abilities. An acting mission of this level was indeed a small matter for him.

“Remember the ‘innocent’ persona the company set for you for this variety show. Don’t mess up again… Ren Yi! Are you even listening to me?“

Ren Yi snapped back to his senses and realized he was sitting in a motorhome. The middle-aged woman speaking opposite him was his manager.

At this moment, the sunset glow filtered through the car window, spilling over Ren Yi’s face, which was as beautiful as a peach blossom. It made the youth in the motorhome appear somewhat ethereal.

Ren Yi’s eyelashes were long and curled, reminiscent of butterflies fluttering in a peach forest. Below them were eyes containing the radiance of a billion stars, a straight bridge of a nose, bright red lips…

Zhang Hui was about to scold Ren Yi for his previous lack of focus, but when she looked up, she was choked by this oil-painting-like scene.

“I won’t say much more. If you fail to seize this opportunity, the company probably won’t give you resources like this again.“

Zhang Hui regained her composure, her tone of voice becoming unconsciously softer.

“Sister Zhang, I know. I’ll definitely strive to ‘catch fire’.“

It’s just that this “fire” might be a negative score. After all, the things he was going to do in the future would surely earn him the curses of countless netizens.

The motorhome stopped in front of a small western-style building. As soon as Ren Yi appeared pulling his suitcase, several photographers followed him.

This variety show adopted a live-streaming format. Every week, the main plot from the live stream would undergo post-processing and be released online.

The perspective of each participating guest was in a different live-stream room. Viewers could switch between rooms based on their preferences.

Currently, most of the audience in the program were fans of the male lead gong, Nie Zechuan. Only a few scattered people were watching Ren Yi’s perspective.

However, when Ren Yi gave a brilliant smile toward the camera, the originally empty live-stream room was instantly covered in bullet comments.

“My god! Where did the production team find this treasure boy? This beauty is way too high…”

“Stop talking, family members. At the first look at him, the short sleeves on my body immediately turned into a wedding dress.”

“Isn’t this Ren Yi? I’ve seen a few of his stage performances. I heard he recently transitioned into an actor.”

“First look: a beautiful boy. Second look: my remaining life.”

“The guests this time are all so handsome. When the previous few guests came out, I could still remain reserved, but this little brother’s beauty critical hit has knocked me flat…”

“What is this? It’s a handsome little brother! [Crawling darkly and distortedly] Little brother, si-ha [heavy breathing], I can’t live without little brother’s smile [Crawling darkly and distortedly].”

Ren Yi didn’t know that with just one shot, he had climbed onto today’s Weibo hot search.

“HOT” The celestial beauty appearing in “Love in Progress,” everyone come and look for me!

Ren Yi was the last to arrive. After settling his luggage, the director asked all the guests to gather in the living room.

Ren Yi’s clothing reflected the careful calculations of his character in the script.

A simple white T-shirt plus loose black shorts—it looked very simple but perfectly revealed his fair and slender legs.

On his feet were white mid-length socks paired with grey-blue sneakers; his whole being overflowed with youthful energy.

As soon as he reached the living room, Ren Yi met several important characters from the novel. They were all wearing suits according to the crew’s requirements, while he stood out alone, not following the crew’s dress code.

Yes, this is what a piece of cannon fodder like him should do: always viewing himself as a peacock and being smart for his own good while displaying his feathers.

In the novel, viewers would already be scolding him for being calculating and acting young at this point. However, Ren Yi didn’t care. After all, the harder they scolded him, the higher his final mission rating would be.

Yet, Ren Yi never would have imagined that no one noticed his clothing problem at all. The style of the bullet comments was actually like this:

“Ren Yi is so small. Although the official website says 178cm, standing with the other guests, he really looks dainty.”

“Who understands! This height difference—I’ll ship him with whoever he’s with!”

“Heavens, I feel like Ren Yi matches well with anyone! I wonder who Ren Yi will choose in the end.”

“Only children make choices. Ren Yi, sister begs you, just take them all for yourself!”

“Sister, you can’t eat that many at once~”

“Hahaha, noted. This wave is the battle to protect Ren Yi’s butt.”

“Stop it, family members. My face is already horny.”

“Next, we will proceed with self-introductions. The rule is: the person who draws the number 1 will introduce themselves first. After the introduction, they can choose a guest they are interested in to introduce themselves, and so on.”
