[Male Substitute + System + Intense Push and Pull + Two Powerhouses in Tech and the Workplace + Fated Entanglement]
Song Siyan vs. Shen Xu
Brilliant CTO with a sharp-tongued, unexpectedly chuunibyou side VS. genius architect with a tsundere, brooding puppy-like streak
-
Shen Xu, a recent master's graduate, has been single his whole life.
One day, a yellow chick calling itself the System, Jiujiu, tells him:
In the future, the heroine Song Siyan will use him as a substitute, torment him inside and out, and eventually drive him to slit his wrists and end his life.
Shen Xu: ??? Thanks for the warning. I'm out.
So he avoids career talks, job offers, and her gaze.
He says: I want to live. I want to stay as far away from her as possible.

Later
Shen Xu: She's so exhausted from working overtime that she fell asleep. Should I put a jacket over her?
Jiujiu: You're playing with fire!
Shen Xu: ...You don't understand. I've got my own pace.
-
Until one day, Song Siyan gets an international call, and her expression changes.
Jiujiu: This is the moment you die. Run!
But Shen Xu still hits the gas and races into the rain...
...It turns out falling for someone isn't the scariest thing.
The scariest thing is knowing you might die, yet still wanting to see her one last time.
-
When he wakes again, Song Siyan is sitting beside his hospital bed, smiling warmly and brightly:
“Honey, you're finally awake. Do you remember me?”
“I'm sorry. I don't...”
Song Siyan, if you love me this time because you mistake me for someone else, can I spend the rest of my life playing his part?

At first I thought it was another cliche stand-in article, but after reading it, I found that it was very counter-conventional. The writing is very smooth and the story is very attractive. I hope the update will be accelerated!!
