Gu He decided to quit his job.
After ten years of unrequited love, his crush was now getting engaged to someone else. Walking away now was the best thing to do.
But on the day he quit, Gu He was abducted by the System and made to transmigrate into a book, specifically a collection of explicit stories with all kinds of restrictions.
The System's emotionless mechanical voice rang in his ears. As Gu He read through the plotlines and the infamous scenes where the protagonist got assaulted, his face flushed and his heart sank.
What kind of bad luck was this? His crush was going home to get married, and he was about to become a victim in an explicit story fit for a social news article. He'd be better off going back to his dreary office job!
System: An office worker's explicit story? We've got plenty. This System has everything.
Gu He: ...Nobody asked how big your collection is.
Gu He couldn't even bring himself to look at the tasks the System was assigning, but he could only go home by completing them.
[System]: Task updated! A wayward office worker at the bar~ Host, please complete the task promptly (0/1)
The deadline for the first task was drawing near. Looking at the bright red text on the System's panel, Gu He weighed the backpack holding a brick. Maybe he could find a loophole in the System and complete the task that way?

In the dim bar restroom, a young man leaned against the sink with flushed cheeks, looking as if he were drunk. But his right hand was held behind his back the whole time.
Anyone passing by slowed their steps, but the moment they met the young man's gaze and saw the coldness in his eyes, they hurried away.
At last, steady, purposeful footsteps sounded at the entrance, and someone shut the door with a creak. Still pretending to be drunk, Gu He gripped the brick and listened for the person's footsteps, ready to swing it at them.
Suddenly, a bright light shone in his face. The first thing he heard was a familiar, low voice: "You?"
Gu He looked up and froze for a moment. The person standing there was his crush, Yuan Mo. Yuan Mo was also holding a wrench.
Delight, surprise, and panic all exploded within him at once. Gu He stared for a moment, then blurted out, "Are you trying to murder me?"

The tasks continued.
The bad news was that the System could detect cheating.
The good news was that Gu He had found a partner, and it was his crush.
But with those two pieces of news together, Gu He couldn't tell which one still counted as good news.
After all, he'd already decided to let go of his unrequited love.
Besides, these tasks were really exhausting to complete.
Having never been through anything like this before, Gu He asked the man holding him afterward, exhausted, "Is this script reliable? Is it really always this tiring? Did you complete your task?"
The man fell silent for a moment, then replied without a hint of guilt, "It can be this tiring, but you might have to work a little harder. I'm still a bit short of finishing my task."
