the best lackey

Zhao Du'an, a government official leading a cautious life, finds himself transported to another world where he becomes the favored 'pretty face' of a female emperor and an oppressive, power-abusing villain. Before he can relish the moment, he faces mortal danger for releasing a national criminal. Cornered and desperate, he plans to soothe the female emperor to seek mercy, only to discover his 'leading gigolo' role is a sham. Worse still, his notorious reputation prompts officials and heroes alike to impeach and eliminate him; and martial artists and clerical magicians consider him a disgrace. Overwhelmed, Zhao Du'an decides it's better to stop being human to survive. Starting by betraying his allies, he becomes the Emperor's top lackey. Years later, amidst heavy snowfall in the capital, the female emperor Xu Zhen Guan sighs atop the city tower, 'It was supposed to be a pretend companionship, how did it turn real...' Also known as 'Deceiving and Flattering at the Court of Great Yu', 'The Record of a Villain Going White'.

Lin Jie, a traveler, owns a bookstore. He is kind and enthusiastic. He always recommends books that heal the soul to disappointed and depressed guests, and sometimes reads his own works. Over time, these guests have come to treat him with great respect: every day they bring him simple souvenirs, ask him to recommend books, and tell others about the deeds of an ordinary bookstore owner. They respectfully and affectionately call him "Hyena of the Evil God," "Herald of the flesh-and-blood gospel," "Compiler of the Corpse Ritual," and "Shepherd of the Stars."

In his first life, he was a disciplined pugilist who survived by reading opponents, trusting instinct, and enduring hardship. But that strength also chained him — to obligations, to orders, to endlessly being the one others depended on. His regression is quiet. No system. No divine voice. Just a reset… and a choice. This time, he walks a different path: the Tamer class. Not because it’s safe, but because it allows him to connect instead of destroy. To create rather than break. And maybe, to live without being someone’s weapon. His calm eccentricity — the habit of staring too long, talking too little, understanding creatures better than people — makes him stand out in ways he never intended. Beasts trust him. Humans misunderstand him. And both assume there’s more to him than he ever claims. But all he wants is to avoid the chains of loyalty and servitude he suffered before. How to Not Be a Lackey is his quiet rebellion — a journey of taming beasts, taming fate, and finally taming the expectations of a world that keeps trying to shove him into roles he refuses to play.

Jax Vance never asked to transmigrate into the body of a pathetic side-villain lackey. In a world of magic academies, arrogant young masters, and a destined harem protagonist, he's just another background bully fated to be abandoned, corrupted by demons, and slaughtered for easy XP. Armed with perfect knowledge of the novel's plot, Jax's only goal is survival. He'll bully the protagonist on command, lose every fight with surgical precision, and milk his "arrogant lackey" role for all its worth, until the moment his boss discards him.

I transmigrated into a book as the lackey of the female supporting character in a Mary Sue, overbearing CEO novel. She was hugging me, crying, and complaining, "Why does Jace Ford always treat me like one of his bros?" "Then you can just treat him like one of your sisters." She looked at me seriously, "Sis, is that advice reliable?" "It's totally reliable. We're all human, isn't distinguishing by gender being too formal?" She looked at me, smiled, and pulled me into her arms, "Sis, you're right. Then I won't be formal with you either!" "..." Right is right, but could you please not hug me so tight?
