After the Cool, Overworked Office Drone Got Bound to a Hypnosis App

Jian Qing'an is handsome and elegant, with a level-headed, mild-mannered personality. He's the quintessential overworked office drone, until one day he gets bound to a hypnosis app.

The app automatically detects and binds itself to high-quality adult men, assigning them character scripts to play out. With the user at the center, it sets up a series of deeply embarrassing interactions.

Whether it's a rational, self-restrained older boss with a daddy vibe, a free-spirited, brash college senior sharing his apartment, a spoiled trust-fund kid who refuses to cooperate on a project, or a mixed-race younger childhood friend returning from studying abroad...

Every time he's hypnotized, they wear him down until he can barely take it.

The good news is that once their romantic missions are complete and they come out of the hypnotic state, they forget what happened and automatically fill in the gaps in their memories to fit what they believe.

Just as Jian Qing'an thinks his life can carry on peacefully like this, he realizes the people who have been hypnotized are all starting to act strangely...

Jian Qing'an isn't particularly fond of his newly transferred boss. The man is devastatingly handsome, but cold, intimidating, and demanding, making his already overwhelming workload even harder to manage.

That is, until the man is hypnotized and pins him against the desk, half coaxing and half forcing him to call him "hubby." On business trips, he specifically books a top-floor suite and lures Jian Qing'an over to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Jian Qing'an can only keep playing the diligent office drone while carrying on this "office romance" with him like they're having an affair, then make up excuses when the man comes to his senses.

He thinks he's been careful enough to protect his job, but he doesn't notice his boss's gaze growing more and more intense.

His roommate is a sports student at University A in the same city: free-spirited and brash, with dyed red hair and a proud, rebellious streak. Still, he's fairly polite, and Jian Qing'an has a good impression of him.

Until Jian Qing'an discovers that, under hypnosis, his roommate's assigned role is a kept man hidden away in a gilded cage. When Jian Qing'an comes home from work, the roommate stares at his boss-rumpled clothes like a wronged lover, covers up the marks his boss left on him, and complains that Jian Qing'an doesn't care about him, his kept man.

Sometimes, jealous and trying to one-up the other man, he'll lean close to Jian Qing'an's ear and say:

"An old man past his prime obviously can't keep up with me, can he?

"No wonder you decided to keep a college boy.

"Don't worry. I've got plenty more tricks than he does, and I'm still young,

"so I can make you feel really good."

Jian Qing'an almost fails to recognize his childhood friend, the younger boy who went abroad for further studies and is now back in the country.

He still has golden hair, blue eyes, and an angelically beautiful face, but he's grown much taller. When he acts spoiled like he did as a boy, Jian Qing'an can't help feeling that he'll be pinned down and devoured whole the very next second.

Then, after the app hypnotizes him, the young man's refined face breaks into a smile as he says:

"After all these years, I never thought An'an would be playing this dirty.

"I've always known that so many people were coveting you, An'an. I went abroad back then because I couldn't control myself.

"So now, I suppose you wouldn't mind adding one more, would you?"

Jian Qing'an: ...

Tell me this is part of his character script too, right?
