The Stand-In Clocked Out on Time. Why Are You Crying, Ice-Cold CEO?

[Urban Tycoon + Clear-Eyed Protagonist + Extreme Contrast + No Suffering in Silence + Love Triangle Mayhem]

On the day Lin Yuan was laid off, several burly men suddenly forced him into a luxury car!

The kidnappers were none other than the lofty, trillion-yuan ice queen CEO of Jianghai City. To deal with her family's arranged marriage, she offered him an astronomical monthly salary and forced him to sign a “stand-in fiancé” contract.

Lin Yuan was ecstatic: “A deal like this actually exists?”

From then on, he treated “being a simp” like a nine-to-five job that required him to clock in and out.

Holding hands: 50,000 yuan. Taking a bullet: a workplace injury. After hours, he wouldn't spare the CEO a second glance. His motto was: sell the performance, not the body!

At last, the CEO, once cold as ice, panicked and cornered him against a wall. “Lin Yuan, can't you show me even a little genuine affection?!”

Lin Yuan glanced at his watch, expressionless. “Sorry, Ms. Luo. I'm off the clock. If you want to talk about feelings, that'll cost extra.”

The CEO completely lost it and swore she'd make this cold-blooded man hers!

But she had no idea that Lin Yuan, who always clocked out on time, went straight home.

There, he had a genius homeless girl he'd met online for a hundred yuan and brought home. Like an insecure little wolf cub, she clung tightly to his sleeve and complained in a hurt voice:

“Lin Yuan… you're five minutes late getting off work today.”
