After working diligently at the company for three years, Zhou Muli was on the verge of a promotion and a raise when a deputy general manager suddenly parachuted in. He took an instant dislike to Zhou Muli, and assigned him a mess to clean up on his very first day, keeping him at work until midnight.
Zhou Muli put up with it again and again. But on the first day of his second week, when the asshole deputy general manager started lecturing him, Zhou Muli blurted out what was really on his mind, completely against his will.
"Zhou Muli, what's going on with you? I told you I needed this document last night. Look at the time! Do you not take me seriously?"
"What's the rush? You made it to the next day just fine, didn't you?"
"Y-You can't talk to me like that!"
"I talk to people like people, and ghosts like ghosts."
"Do you even want to keep this job?"
"Fire me if you can. If you can't, shut up."
"..."
After that, things spiraled further and further out of control, and Zhou Muli got to experience the sheer pleasure of being "brutally honest."
Later, the bug that had forced him to tell the truth disappeared, but Zhou Muli had become addicted to the thrill of not caring who got hurt.
Better to make things difficult for other people than to make yourself suffer.
Zhou Muli found an injured, tattooed gangster.
When they first met, the gangster was filthy, with blood matted in his fur.
Later, the gangster protected him, showed him the way into the world of cultivation, found treasures for him, and warmed his bed...
Zhou Muli plunged headfirst into all that fluff and never came back out.
Reading Guide:
1. The story focuses on the top. Both leads are strong. Zhou Muli is the top and grows over the course of the story. The bottom is a cat demon, a black-gold tabby. He's injured at the start and can't maintain human form. He won't take human form until the middle of the story.
2. The setting is modern with a touch of fantasy, and includes demons, ghosts, spirits, and monsters.
3. No System. The top really can't control himself when he's forced to tell the truth. The reason will be explained later.
