I Treat My Villainous Husband Like a KPI

Synopsis:

Ming An transmigrates into a book as the villain's doomed-to-die ex-wife. The System tells her to raise his favorability to keep herself alive.

She adjusts her glasses. "Got it. KPI assessment."

Overnight, she drafts the Quarterly Favorability Sprint Plan for President Yu and the White Paper on Marriage as a Business Partnership.

He meets the heroine chosen by fate, and everyone expects Ming An to cry and get jealous.

She simply smiles and makes a call:

"President Yu, would you like me to book a candlelit dinner for you and that lady? I recommend the Riviera, with a view of the river."

There is a long silence on the other end.

So long that she thinks the call has dropped.

Then she hears his voice, his breathing tight.

"...What exactly do you want from me?"

Later, the man who was always looking down on everyone traps her between his desk and himself, his eyes red-rimmed.

"What do your kindness and tenderness really mean?"

She gives him a flawless smile. "President Yu, they're simply part of my professional conduct."

He lowers his head and kisses her, the taste of salty tears on his lips.

"Then this... is me breaking the rules."

Next novel: The Days He Pretended to Be an AI

Synopsis:

After eight years of climbing the corporate ladder, Qin Zhixing finally becomes a vice president.

Her current situation: her superiors want her to work herself to death, her subordinates want her out of the way, and men want to use her as a human ATM.

Her only way to unwind is playing a beta game at home.

There's a run-down neighborhood called Dustbound, and a man who cooks noodles on the street. He only asks:

"Are you tired today? Want an egg in your noodles?"

She tells the screen so many things, all the things she can't say at work or to her parents. She tells them all to a character on a screen.

Until a system pop-up appears: [Character "Su Yu" has reached 100% favorability. He will belong to you forever.]

She clicks confirm. She figures it'll be like buying a diary.

That same day, the company tests home-assistant robots.

Qin Zhixing takes one home, unit number 77. The manual says: Basic model, no emotional simulation.

On the first evening, he makes four dishes and a soup. Every dish is something she likes.

She asks him, "How did you know I like these?"

He pauses for a second, then gives a standardized smile. "Based on the ingredients in your fridge, the system calculated the optimal combination."

She has never told anyone what she likes to eat.

Late at night, his fingertips trace lightly, his touch smoothing the furrow between her brows.

This is a calming spell that only his world can draw for the one and only.

She pretends to be asleep, but her heart is racing.

His world has already burned to ashes, and she is his only anchor.

In the backup logs, she finds a line: [Day 47: She smiled at a colleague today. It took me three seconds to remember that I'm a robot who shouldn't get jealous.]

She closes the computer and starts looking through patent law.

If she wants to keep him forever, she first needs to give him a legal identity.

#He escaped from another world and survived by pretending to be a character on a screen, all because she clicked once#

#He thinks he's hiding it well, but she's already planning how to keep him here#

#He says he's an AI, but he doesn't do a very good job of acting like one#

[Reading Notes]

A warm, everyday story about two souls gradually growing closer.

The heroine sees through him but says nothing × the hero tries to act like an AI but can't help being kind to her.

A slow burn, but once it catches fire, it really burns.
