Liang Xun is a miserable office worker who gets up earlier than a chicken, goes to bed later than a dog, and works overtime every day for a salary that barely covers rent. After a car accident, he's bound to a little thing that calls itself a conquest System. The System tells Liang Xun that if he completes conquest missions, he can come back to life in his original world.
Liang Xun, who's already done more than enough overtime: ? Am I out of my mind? I finally managed to die, and now I'm supposed to go through all the trouble of coming back to life just to keep working overtime?
To entice Liang Xun into taking on the missions, the System shows him the vast, magnificent world where they'll take place, with its far-flung cultivation sects.
System: You can tour the cultivation world while you do your missions. You must never have had time to travel when you were working overtime every day, right?
Liang Xun, who just wants to lie flat during his vacation, isn't moved at all.
System: If you succeed, not only will you come back to life, but you can choose your own reward. You'll never have to work overtime like before!
Liang Xun, who hears empty promises every day, remains unmoved.
The System grits its teeth: Look, this is your conquest target!
Liang Xun raises his eyelids and sees a stunning beauty with flowing robes and an exquisite face.
Liang Xun, a thirty-year-old virgin, is instantly smitten.
For the first time, he realizes he's actually gay.
Liang Xun holds out his hand: Give me the mission list.
The System happily hands him the list.
Liang Xun looks at the densely packed missions, and his forehead starts to ache. It's as if he's back to working overtime day and night.
But when he thinks of that beauty, Liang Xun decides to endure it.
He quickly skims the mission list and catches glimpses of phrases like “gouge out his eyes,” “cut out his immortal bones,” and “send him to the crematorium.”
Isn't this supposed to be a conquest? Why is it so gruesome?
The System helpfully explains: Those are later-stage tasks, sending the lofty beauty who goes mad for love to the crematorium.
What? Send who where?
The System patiently explains: Send your mission target, Mu Qinghe, the lofty beauty, to the crematorium.
Liang Xun: So the one who's going to have his eyes gouged out and immortal bones cut out is that gorgeous beauty from just now?
The System nods in satisfaction, pleased at how quickly he's caught on.
Liang Xun angrily punches it away: I'll send you to the crematorium right now!
Mu Qinghe, the aloof, cold-hearted, misanthropic lofty beauty with a stunning face × Liang Xun, the miserable office worker and devoted lover who's trying to conquer him while doing everything he can to keep his husband out of the crematorium
