Ow! Husband, Stop Spanking Me!

Guan Yue was handsome, good-natured, and everyone's favorite workplace confidant. After years of deftly navigating office politics, he finally earned a promotion and a raise, only for the position to be handed to an outsider with connections!

Jian Siming was now his mortal enemy!

The arrogant nepotism hire was a handsome, dashing... well-mannered scum, humph!

*

After failing to get promoted, Guan Yue wished he could trample his nemesis and reach the pinnacle of life.

[Wish received. You are now bound to the Card-Drawing System]

[Congratulations, player! You drew the Romance Card: True Love Arrives]

[Target generated: Jian Siming]

[The target will fall under your spell...]

When Guan Yue opened the door, his handsome nemesis had become his roommate and was confessing his love with a lovestruck expression.

Guan Yue watched him closely and warned himself:

A rival's good looks are poison to a competitor!

Keep cultivating your heartless path and say... YES to temptation!

Guan Yue casually remarked, "I've been craving the soufflé pudding from that place in the neighboring city."

Jian Siming drove all the way there and back, waiting in line to buy it. After watching Guan Yue finish it, he asked, "Was it good?"

Guan Yue: Munch munch munch (cheeks full, nodding)

Jian Siming: "Then I'll get you more tomorrow."

Guan Yue's eyes darted around. "I want some now. Put on an apron and make me a batch."

That'll gross you out for sure.

The man tied on an apron and cinched the waist. Broad shoulders, narrow waist.

Guan Yue spoke before he could think. "I'll sit on your lap while I eat. You feed me."

Jian Siming pulled over a chair, scooped him onto his lap, and held the pudding to his lips. "Open up."

Guan Yue froze.

This card... might be a little too good...?

[Congratulations, player! You drew the Special Ability Card: Mind Reading]

At the negotiation table, the investor leaned back in his chair. "Honestly, your project isn't worth much."

A line of text floated over his head: "Great project! I'll bargain the price down first!"

Guan Yue shut his laptop and stood up, counting silently: 3, 2

"Wait! I'll invest!"

[Congratulations, player! You drew the Fortune Card: Lucky Cat]

The moment Guan Yue saw the words "Lucky Cat," his eyes lit up, and he tapped confirm without a second thought.

The next second, his account refreshed: You have received 1,000,000

Before he could finish counting the money, Guan Yue looked down:

Round belly, pink paws.

He had turned into an actual lucky cat! He was just about to run when the man caught him, stuffed him into a cat carrier with the two huge cats at home, and... had him neutered?!

At midnight, Guan Yue, having narrowly escaped disaster, changed back into human form and crawled out from under the bed. He looked up to find Jian Siming staring at him in horror.

Guan Yue: ...Let me meow-plain

*

After believing in science for years, Jian Siming fell silent when he witnessed the unnatural phenomenon of a cat turning into a person.

Guan Yue's hair stuck up in every direction, his pajama collar hung askew, and he helplessly explained the Card-Drawing System and all the different cards.

Guan Yue: So you actually like me because the cards have been secretly messing with you.

Jian Siming: How could that be? I fell in love with you at first sight years ago.

*

[Bonus Scene]

After breaking the System, the two decided to test every card.

Guan Yue: I'm so sleepy. Draw three cards for me.

Jian Siming nodded.

[Absolute Empathy] [Bunny Cosplay Experience Ticket] [Ace Hypnotist]

That night, Guan Yue's hair was a mess and his face was streaked with tears. All he could manage were broken whimpers:

"Hubby... stop drawing cards!"
