Everyone's in Love, Except Me

Gu Mingce, a high-tech workaholic, transmigrates into a harem novel and becomes the number S gong. Gongs A through R are all hopeless romantics. Every day they compete to win the shou protagonist's love, neglecting their work and never showing up at the office! Gu Mingce: I don't get it. Why is everyone in the world a hopeless romantic? What's so good about fighting for love when making money is so much better? The villain's the way to go. Villains aren't hopeless romantics at all! Besides, everyone being so lovesick makes it pretty convenient for him to get rich... Gong A: You couldn't afford tonight's birthday drone show for him, could you? Gu Mingce: Ha. Bet you didn't know it's his company's product. Gong B: I managed to book out the most expensive venue at Journey to the West Theme Park. What do you think? He must have turned down your date invitation. Gu Mingce: Congratulations. Heh, that's the movie studio he built. Gong C: I outbid you for something at the auction. Sorry, but you don't mind, do you? Gu Mingce: Don't say another word. This is just cruel to me. It's his family's property. He successfully drove up the price, but can only laugh to himself. That's just too cruel! Later, everyone discovers he's been secretly making a fortune! Gu Mingce, with no justification but plenty of confidence: So what if I got rich? What are you looking at? The novel's great villain, his assistant Zhou Junye, is the only character in the whole book who isn't a hopeless romantic. Zhou Junye is cool, dignified, and devoted to his career. He enthusiastically helps Gu Mingce make money, earning Gu's admiration! Who would have guessed that Zhou Junye is actually the biggest hopeless romantic in the whole book? By chance, Gu Mingce gets Zhou's alt account recommended to him by a data algorithm, and is lucky enough to discover: Zhou Junye: C complimented my fingers today... He must like me! Zhou Junye: C had matching couple badges made for us today! He wants us to wear them together. Is our office romance too obvious? (blushing.JPG) Zhou Junye: Mystery solved. Turns out they're company-wide badges. Heh. Zhou Junye: C hasn't replied to my message for 53 seconds. Does he have someone else? Heh. Gu Mingce: Ah. Huh?!!! Where did my rational, ruthless assistant go, the one who was devoted to making money? Main gong. A money-loving, career-minded, big-hearted, clingy younger gong x a hopelessly romantic, sensitive, suspicious, hot-tempered, doting villainous shou who's cold on the outside and stubbornly tight-lipped *Main gong story, completed Strong gong: Spoiling You [Quick Transmigration] Beautiful gong: The Celestial Master Who Married Into the Family, and more *New main gong story: What a Wonderful Marriage! Lu Shiyang transmigrates into a book. He was a celestial master who could summon the wind and command the rain, and turn beans into soldiers. Now he's in an ABO world, transmigrated into the body of a pure-hearted college Alpha who's in heat and has to find a partner. His family is on the verge of bankruptcy, so finding a partner is no easy task! But a quick divination tells him his destined match will arrive soon! At the matchmaking meeting, Duan Changle suddenly leans in and sniffs him. Then he raises an eyebrow and sizes him up from head to toe with a wild, untamed air. After a long while, he finally nods. "I'll marry you, but first, there will absolutely be no wedding ceremony or banquet." Lu Shiyang (overjoyed to avoid socializing): "That's wonderful, thank you!" Duan Changle: ? Duan Changle frowns. "Second, I'll only come home when I'm in heat. Otherwise, don't bother chatting with me." Lu Shiyang (relieved to avoid socializing): "That's great. You're such a nice person!" Duan Changle: "...?" But later... Lu Shiyang is perplexed. Why is his partner in heat every single day? Meanwhile, Duan Changle suggests, "I think we should make up for it with a grand wedding." Lu Shiyang: ??? ~ To outsiders, Lu Shiyang isn't socially anxious at all. He's a terrifyingly shrewd green tea who puts on an innocent act! When a illegitimate son of the Lu family brags about how impressive he was studying abroad and mocks Lu Shiyang for studying in China, Lu Shiyang asks in confusion: "Huh? Didn't you outsource your thesis? And haven't you been hiring people to take your exams lately?" When a celebrity becomes famous for showing off his romance on a dating reality show and publicly laments that Lu Shiyang didn't even have a wedding, Lu Shiyang asks in sincere confusion: "But you still haven't broken things off with your two Omega lovers? And what about the Beta assistant you've been forcing yourself on lately?" Everyone: ... What a professional fraud-buster! Please, stop talking! *A modest, reserved, naturally airheaded, unintentionally shady, socially anxious celestial master Alpha gong x a looks-obsessed, wild, cold-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside Omega shou *The whole world wears a mask, but I see the real you. Theme: Even hopeless romantics have to go to work! Be independent and self-loving, build your career, strive with determination, create products that make the world more colorful, provide jobs, and give back to society after getting rich!
