[Urban fantasy + easygoing comedy + workplace revenge + virtual possession + a single heroine who saves the hero as he saves her]
Chen Yue is a low-level office drone whose boss takes credit for his work and whose landlord is on his back for rent. He buys a secondhand old pillow online for 19.9 yuan, shipping included.
But the moment he closes his eyes, he takes someone else's place.
The chief appraiser at an auction house, the entertainment industry's top PR guru… From the start, he's dumped into a string of disasters worth billions, each one more urgent than the last!
When Chen Yue shows up at a preview for a 200-million-yuan antique, industry big shots wail, “Don't inspect the patina without gloves! It's over. The century-old Datong brand is going to be ruined in his hands!”
And yet…
Faced with industry insiders trying to force his hand with microscopes, Chen Yue stays calm. He even picks up a Ru ware piece from the Song dynasty with his bare hands and curses the rich for having no taste.
When a top-tier star is caught in a scandal, he doesn't do PR damage control or try to clear their name. Instead, he packages up the dirt and sends it straight to their rival, landing the star in prison.
“You're supposed to fix the crisis, and you flipped the whole table instead?!”
Clutching his designer suit, Chen Yue screams inside: “I only know how to pass the buck at work and turn the blame back on people!”
The pillow spirit munches on sunflower seeds. “Relax. If you play your tricks deep enough, these sharp operators will convince themselves you're playing some grand game.”
Using the skills he picked up in his dreams, Chen Yue turns the tables on the director who bullied him in real life.
The new intern gazes at him with sparkling eyes.
Chen Yue sighs. “Looking at me won't help. I'm broke too. Treating you to barbecue is already the best I can do.”
Hu Mengrou smiles and casually points to an office building on the street. “That's okay, Yue. Actually, that building belongs to my dad. If you lose your job, I'll support you.”
Chen Yue: ???
Wait, what? What's going on…
