The First Step to Winning a Creepy Boss’s Heart: Bite Their Neck

[Two male leads, one-on-one romance + infinite horror scenarios + inhuman Boss relentlessly pursuing a mate] Psychologist Zuo Weiqing accidentally enters the Abyss Cinema, a strange infinite-loop world where horror movies serve as scenarios. In his very first film, The Haunted Cop Shop, he becomes the subject of a terrifying entity’s observations. Cheng Yuan’s shadow grows tentacles that crawl up the bed frame and onto his body, examining him inch by inch. He likes the way this human smells, so he follows him everywhere, learning and imitating. After the first scenario ends, the strange Boss follows Zuo Weiqing to the transit station. He loves watching Animal World, imitating the courtship behavior of felines: You have to bite your mate on the back of the neck... You have to learn how to comfort your mate... From The Haunted Cop Shop to The Medium, Cheng Yuan learns about humans at an astonishing pace. What interests him most is... Humans hug to show friendship? So he wraps his tentacles tightly around Zuo Weiqing’s waist. Humans kiss to show love? So he bares his fangs and presses them against Zuo Weiqing’s carotid artery. Until one day, Zuo Weiqing realizes Cheng Yuan is losing control. Cheng Yuan stops pretending and corners Zuo Weiqing as he tries to escape, then announces with utter seriousness: “I’ve learned. This is called courtship.” Zuo Weiqing: “...Get your tentacles off me. This is called harassment!”
