Could You Please Not Bite Me?

Tang You had been in a girl group for five years, and spent four and a half of them as a nobody. Her one shining moment came when she appeared on a food variety show. She ate with such gusto that she became a meme and went viral across the country.

Then... she spent a few years in the apocalypse.

There was one thing Tang You would never tell anyone: during the apocalypse, a zombie kept her captive for three years.

Every day, the zombie went out to hunt for food and level up, then stared at her with its glowing green eyes.

Tang You went from being terrified to lying flat, and soon became the big zombie boss's loyal little lackey.

After returning from the apocalypse, Tang You planned to tidy things up, terminate her contract with the company, and go back to her hometown to farm and raise chickens, living a simple life where she could eat her fill at every meal. But then she met the company's boss, Duan Jinran...

She trembled. Why did this guy look exactly like that zombie? He was also a workaholic who was obsessed with making money and constantly pushed her to work. He was practically... the real deal.

So, Tang You's lackey mode switched on again.

Boss Duan: "Go on that variety show and do well. Make me proud."

Tang You: "Sure, sure."

Boss Duan: "Take your acting seriously and bring home an award."

Tang You: "Sure, sure."

After thinking it over for a long time, Boss Duan decided that since his little subordinate had coveted him for so long and made him so much money, he ought to offer her a little something in return: his good looks.

Duan, secretly eager but too stubborn to admit it: "Well... I'll allow you to think of me as your boyfriend."

Tang You: "Huh?"

Under Duan Jinran's tyranny,

Tang You, biting a little handkerchief, was forced to ride the winds and waves through the entertainment industry.

And then... she became famous.

On a wilderness survival show, the audience initially decided, "Here comes another pretty face with no substance."

Then they watched Tang You climb trees and start fires like a nimble little squirrel, turning a survival show into a cooking show.

"Her cooking looks so good. I need a phone that lets me smell it."

"She even makes eating look delicious. I could watch her and eat two extra bowls of rice."

"Open a restaurant... please."

After the show went viral, Tang You modestly said, "I learned it all in the apocalypse."

"My boss taught me well!"

After becoming a hit, Tang You gave an interview. The host asked, "Why do you listen to your boss so much?"

Without realizing it, Tang You let her true feelings slip out. "I'm afraid he'll bite me if he's in a bad mood."

The audience erupted.

Proof! The newly popular actress has just announced her relationship!
