[The possessive, devoted CEO Shen Zhiwan x the capable kept lover Lu Chenyang, who failed to avoid becoming a couch potato]
Multiple rebirths, HE ending, modern urban fantasy setting, basically no workplace drama
In their previous life, Shen Zhiwan's possessiveness was off the charts. On their wedding day, he took it upon himself to force Lu Chenyang to quit his enviable, secure job, forbidding him from going to work. Lu Chenyang had already suffered scorn from the Shen family because of the huge gap in their family backgrounds. Now he had lost the job he loved, too, and finally couldn't take it anymore. He asked for a divorce.
Shen Zhiwan regretted it. He had only wanted to see Lu Chenyang every moment of every day. If only he had explained himself properly...
Luckily, fate gave them another chance.
They were reborn, but there was one problem: they had no memories.
Shen Zhiwan: [That college student in the white shirt looks familiar. When I see him, I can't stop trembling. I want to hug him.]
Lu Chenyang: [...That guy who runs the zongzi shop keeps following me. There's an abyssal aura about him. Run.]
Shen Zhiwan cornered Lu Chenyang at the bubble tea shop, in a back alley, at the school gate, outside his workplace... He had only one request: to get acquainted and add him on WeChat.
[Wait, don't you ever work? Are CEOs all this willful?]
Lu Chenyang was terrified and submitted a request to be transferred overseas for an extended assignment that very night.
Life abroad was wonderful. Lu Chenyang was so relaxed that he got carried away. His lunch break had been over for five minutes, and he was still listening to music and reading a novel.
Shen Zhiwan tapped on the desk, radiating icy coldness. "Hello, I'd like to file a complaint."
Lu Chenyang panicked. He pulled the half-empty bag of preserved plum candy from his drawer and shoved it into the man's hand. "Please, don't file a complaint! I'm still on probation! I'm sorry!"
Before Lu Chenyang could finish, he looked up and saw Shen Zhiwan's burning gaze...
Mm... I'll never go over my lunch break again!
Lu Chenyang still wanted to run away, but reality soon forced him to give in and call Shen Zhiwan himself.
[Mr. Shen, I want to quit... Could you help me find a job?]
Shen Zhiwan's eyes lit up. My little bird has finally come to me for help?! My little bird doesn't need to work! Just stay home and be a couch potato!
[This time, I'll build my little bird the softest, most comfortable gilded cage.]
[Coming soon: a sweet HE story!]
