I Became a CEO's Housekeeper and Earned a Million a Month by Eavesdropping on Gossip

“Boss, please don’t fire me! I have no one to support me and no children to care for. I’m counting on this job, with its 100,000-yuan monthly salary, to save for retirement!”

Summoned late at night by a violent CEO, Qi Yuan thinks she’s about to lose her job, so she promptly clings to his leg and wails. In her previous life, she died from overwork after endless 996 shifts. Reborn as a cannon-fodder housekeeper, all she wants is a quiet life and a steady income.

Faced with the melodramatic misunderstandings, kidnappings, and love-hate entanglements between the hero and heroine, she wields the Labor Law in one hand and the Criminal Law in the other, turning their tragic romance into a public legal education seminar.

“Sir, unlawful imprisonment carries a minimum sentence of three years. Messing with my paycheck is serious business!”

“Miss, stop crying. When he flies into a rage, you get a bonus. That’s performance pay!”

Everyone is stunned. Only the real tycoon disguised as the butler, standing in the corner, smiles meaningfully at her sharp, money-loving clarity. “Interesting.”

While the whole estate is acting out The CEO, Please Love Me, Qi Yuan is the only one starring in My Ten-Thousand-Yuan Hourly Wage. The vicious supporting actress is a walking performance bonus, while the sweet, innocent heroine is a core asset that needs to be kept stable. She makes money while enjoying the show, turning everyone into her personal “ATM.”

She thinks she’s only clinging to the leg of a difficult boss, never realizing that the all-capable butler who watches her “act” every day and gives her “bizarre bonuses” is the real emperor of A City.

Later, the tycoon drops his disguise and pulls her into his arms. “One hundred million isn’t enough. I’ll give you my entire business empire. How about signing a lifetime contract?”
