After My Return, I Push the Ice-Cold CEO Over the Edge

No brainless, explosive opening. No mechanically piled-on rewards.

The core rule: the more Li Haoyuan keeps a low profile and endures, is forced to act, or saves someone by accident while showing off, the more absurdly top-tier his rewards become.

Rewards include combat abilities, connections and privileges, wealth and resources, life skills, and amusingly incongruous buffs.

It comes with a comedy mechanic: ridiculous contrast buffs often trigger. For example, a powerful boss might radiate an imposing aura but come with gentle background music, or a cold, intimidating presence might trigger a bystander popcorn-watching buff. This makes Li Haoyuan's attempts to show off backfire every time, leaving him mortified yet impressive.
