Professional Boyfriend, One Million a Day

Chu Lingxiu transmigrates into six CEO romance novels. The System assigns him the role of a vicious cannon-fodder character, there to crank up the drama in each couple’s relationship.

Chu Lingxiu 😅: Just say you want to work me to death.

In these six stories, the love interests are either sons of top financial dynasties, with bodyguards wherever they go, or globally famous stars whose fan meetings sell out instantly. Even the lowest-status one is the slum’s only omega, adored by everyone.

Chu Lingxiu, working his way through school by hauling bricks at a construction site, with only seven yuan and twenty cents in his pocket 🙃: Can I expense this?

System: Dream on. You’re paying out of pocket.

With no other choice, Chu Lingxiu completes his missions while trying to make a little money on the side.

No matter how powerful the couples are, they all share one weakness: meeting the parents!

Especially if their partner is low-status, not an omega, or a poor match. Their parents are guaranteed to tear them apart 😣.

Just as they’re fretting, Chu Lingxiu shows up to pitch his professional boyfriend-for-hire service 😎.

“Worried about meeting the parents? Afraid your partner’s parents will slap a breakup check on the table? Hire me. In less than a month, I guarantee your parents will be begging you to stay together.”

The heir to a top financial dynasty suddenly turns over a new leaf, dumps his true love, and brings home a boyfriend from a family of equal standing.

His parents see the boyfriend’s handsome looks, cool demeanor, and elegant bearing, and wholeheartedly approve of the match.

After dinner, they watch Chu Lingxiu ride off with a puttering motorcycle.

The next day, the parents spot Chu Lingxiu outside the company, bragging to his underlings 😉: “Once I’ve got a foothold here, I’ll get you all hired as managers!”

On the third day, Chu Lingxiu gets drunk and lets the truth slip 😈: “One day, this whole family is going to take my surname!”

The next day, he sends over a pile of ginseng, deer antler, and goji berries. His intentions are obvious to everyone 👻.

On the sixth day, the parents weep and beg their son to get back together with his true love. “So what if he likes playing piano in the rain? We only thought he was an idiot because we hadn’t seen the world. He’s clearly an artistic soul! Bring him home and we’ll get you married right away 🎉!”

The financial heir and his true-love assistant are overjoyed!

System: ...

Chu Lingxiu: I went so far as to meet the parents with the love interest. Tell me, did I crank up the drama or not?

Xie Yunqi falls in love with his roommate Chu Lingxiu at first sight 🥰. The second time, he’s even more smitten. The third time, he can hardly resist dragging him to the marriage registry. Not wanting to rush things with a beauty, he first becomes his friend, then plans to win him over slowly.

Not long after, Xie Yunqi sees a friend at a gathering with Chu Lingxiu, introducing him as his new boyfriend.

Xie Yunqi 😨: What’s more tragic, that the man I love is a gold digger, or that he has terrible taste and picked a scumbag?

Xie Yunqi spends a month talking himself through it, and finally gets over the shock.

It’s just stealing someone else’s boyfriend. So what if I have no morals 😤!

The next day, he attends a banquet, where friend B arrives arm in arm with Chu Lingxiu and announces that he’s his fiance.

Xie Yunqi: 😇.

The next month, friend C. The month after that, friends D, E, F...

At last, Xie Yunqi can’t take it anymore. He pulls Chu Lingxiu into his arms, furious and aggrieved 😠🥺:

“I’m richer than all of them. Look at me for once!

Surely it’s my turn by now!”

Chu Lingxiu’s face turns bright red.
