Synopsis

Gu Jingbai has been one of the Temporal Administration's Top Ten Employees for a hundred years running. He's calm and self-possessed, and loves nothing but work.

That is, until he transfers to the Devotion Department and receives a commission: stop being devoted.

Gu Jingbai: ??? Speak plainly.

AI Assistant: It's like in a book, where there's always a lovesick fool who gets nothing in the end, right? Now he doesn't want to pine anymore. Since he doesn't have the willpower to do it himself, he's asked the most inhuman person, no, I mean, the most cold-hearted and ruthless person... Anyway, he's asked you.

Gu Jingbai: I just have to come up with a reason and let the whole world know he doesn't love them anymore?

AI Assistant: It needs to be reasonable and convincing.

AI Assistant: Quick question: How do you get rid of the devoted persona toward the strongest ability user in the apocalypse?

Gu Jingbai: Find a random zombie on the street, pull out its teeth, break its arms and legs, lock it in a coffin, and tell everyone I'm looking for a way to turn my beloved back into a human.

AI Assistant: ...As expected of you.

A work-loving bottom X a bottom-loving top

Choose your own warnings and preferences:

1. Bottom's POV, one-on-one romance, happy ending.

2. The protagonist loves work and does everything for his KPI, so the romance won't be very prominent in some worlds.

3. A happy story for a happy summer vacation. That's all.

4. The settings for all the mini-worlds in this story are fictional and have nothing to do with reality. Please don't assume they're about anyone real.

5. The author's cat wrote this story! ⊙ω⊙

6. Unless something unexpected happens, there will be daily updates, sometime between [12 p.m. and 2 p.m.].

[Check out my new modern danmei novel, Hahahahahahaha (shortened to Eight Ha). After inheriting a fortune worth hundreds of billions... You can also find it in my author's collection~]

Readable to the End

Characterization: 30%, prose: 25%, plot: 25%, pacing: 20% (at least 80/100). The protagonist is at least as smart as I am and has above-average morals.

Quick Transmigration / Anthologies, No Fake Death, Low-IQ, or Dark and Twisted Stories

A collection of easy reads that won't wear you out. No universally adored protagonists, group pampering, frail characters, white moonlights, love polygons, awkward wish fulfillment, “little xx” characters, dark and brutal plots, or fake-death-by-vomiting-blood tropes.

Reading Log

Contains major spoilers. No yuri, and no tragic, tempestuous romances. I’m open to everything else. I can’t stand protagonists who are constantly put through the wringer. I have lots of dealbreakers and don’t mince words, so steer clear if that bothers you.

I've run out of five-star ratings for the great stories I adore, so I had to dig up some abandoned ones to balance things out.

Quick Transmigration

All quick transmigration stories. I especially love sweet couples whose feelings are firmly mutual, along with fun, plot-driven stories.

Ensemble Stories with No Protagonist Angst and Solid Logic

I like stories with rational, level-headed, thoughtful protagonists. They don't have to be geniuses, but the author shouldn't treat readers like idiots. A mixed bag of BG and BL; lately I've been reading BG.

Some are great, some are awful, and I don’t remember some of them. Ratings from 1 to 5: 1 means I don’t remember. How is the limit only 100 books? I spent all day editing this, but it wouldn’t save, so I just closed it.
