Funny, ambitious, softhearted older woman who can be a little mischievous (hehe)

Lin Minyu, a therapist, loves money. One day, she falls for a shady ad promising an absurdly high salary...

She doesn’t get tricked into going to Myanmar, but instead transmigrates to another world and gets bound to an emotional support System for a cat-loving man with depression, all for the sake of making money.

At first, she refuses, standing firmly by her professional ethics.

But the System installs malware on Lin Minyu’s phone and blackmails her:

[From this moment on, your account balance will be closely tied to the user’s emotions.]

She looks down. Account balance: 0.

WTF, how did every last cent disappear from her wallet?!

Desperate, she embarks on the point of no return: treating a man with depression.

The user likes cats, so opening a cat cafe should do the trick, right?

She originally planned to bluff her way through with her professional knowledge, but the man grew wary of her approach. With no other choice, she had to win his trust with genuine care.

Heaven above, please see that I’m innocent! I have no ulterior motives, dear user!

The System’s tasks are bizarre. Once, Lin Minyu turns into a cat and gets to feel the man’s pecs.

Would anyone believe her when she says it wasn’t on purpose? But if she has to give a review:

They’re springy and bouncy.

He’s generous, and his pecs are huge. Who knew there was such a sight beneath that pure exterior?

She also learns all about his extremely melodramatic family background.

In another task, she returns to her original world and reunites with the user as a child, after years apart.

“Big Sis, did you come back for me?”

“Wait, we knew each other before?!” Lin Minyu asks in a panic, drawing a complete blank.

“It’s me, Chen Yixiao. Don’t you remember, Big Sis?”

And there’s a childhood friend who just shows up out of nowhere, too?!

As they spend time together, Lin Minyu is touched and decides to come clean to the user:

Actually, I’m a therapist. I transmigrated here to save you.

Now that my secret identity has been exposed, you’d better listen to me and help me take down this evil System!

But the man has an oddly specific fixation and keeps throwing tantrums:

“Were you only nice to me because of the System...? Of course someone like me could never be loved... I’ve loved you, Big Sis, for so long, and now I finally know the answer...”

After saying that, the man looks utterly devastated. He blinks at her as if he’s about to cry, but holds back. He looks so pitiful.

“You’re overthinking it... My love for you is real,” Lin Minyu says, wiping away her sweat.

“No matter how you explain it, Big Sis... I still think you should make it up to me.”

Chen Yixiao says this to himself, then abruptly changes from pitiful and vulnerable to smiling as he pounces on her and pins her down.

Wasn’t my user supposed to be a gentle, melancholy man?

Why did I get shipped a white lotus who’s always pretending to be pitiful instead?!
