Storm Over City A

Ji Tan died suddenly from working overtime and transmigrated into a novel about an artificial human AI that his unscrupulous boss had assigned him to research. The moment he opened his eyes, his so-called husband was sending him to the operating room to "rip out his heart and lungs."

He couldn't fight his way out, and his attempt to appeal to the law failed. At the eleventh hour, he spotted the instigator in the crowd: his unscrupulous boss. That bastard pretended not to know him, watching the show with his hands tucked away.

Grief and indignation welled up in him. Ji Tan pulled out the proposal he'd soaked in the blood and tears of a wage slave and shouted, "I cried through the day and sobbed through the night for you. I went without sleep, suffered so much, and even lost my life in the end. And you just stand there and let them bully me?"

Huh?

Everyone turned to look at the newly appointed governor of City A: the impeccably dressed unscrupulous boss in Ji Tan's eyes.

The governor: "Did that really happen between us?"

The so-called husband: "What's going on between you two?!"

City A is a place of shifting intrigue, where supernatural powers exist and everything is absurd and chaotic. Humans can gain extraordinary abilities, remaining clear-headed even as they descend into madness. To survive in this deranged world teeming with domineering CEOs, princes, Buddhist masters, and unattainable first loves, Ji Tan has no choice but to learn to play a part. He pretends to be "normal," pretends to "have a thing going on with the governor," and pretends to be... a god.

View domineering CEO fiction through a Cthulhu lens, and suddenly all the madness has an explanation (not really).

Reader's guide:

① The "nominal husband" in the blurb has no romantic entanglement with the bottom. They're purely enemies.

② The people of City A all have reasonable motives for their actions. They're not NPCs in genuinely brainless domineering CEO fiction.

③ A hilarious, goofy story featuring crosstalk, skits, magic tricks, and acrobatics (superpowers), all for your amusement.
