A rational CEO who always gets the blame x a scheming beauty of a megastar
"If you had the chance to choose your life, would you:"
"A. Live an easy, smooth life, but one that's utterly ordinary"
"B. Live a life full of ups and downs, but make every day exciting and extraordinary"
To Lu Zhiyuan, the hypothetical was meaningless.
There were still several documents on his desk waiting for his approval. He was about to close the annoying ad when his hand slipped and he clicked option B.
Then he was immediately transported into an escape game.
Looking up at the various ghosts and monsters baring their claws and fangs at him, Lu Zhiyuan said, "..."
Sure, but did his life really have to get this dramatic?

Lu Zhiyuan, a CEO who is anything but domineering, is forced to compete in an escape game. By day, he gets transported at random to pit his wits against ghosts and monsters. At night, he has to come back and work overtime. It's a miserable life.
The megastar his System forced onto his team isn't exactly a breeze to deal with, either.
Reporter: "What do you have to say about the rumors that you're involved with a male executive at a certain company?"
The famously aloof star coldly replies with four words: "No comment."
The perfectly innocent Lu Zhiyuan angrily flips the table. "...Explain yourself!"

1. This is mainly an escape game story, with little focus on the entertainment industry.
2. Two strong leads, each other's first love, in an alternate universe where same-sex marriage is legal.
3. The male lead is a great beauty, aloof on the outside but secretly a mischievous flirt, and highly skilled in combat.
4. The other lead is a young, promising CEO, but a momentary slip of the hand forces him into a 996 work schedule (not really). While teamed up with the male lead, he handles the commentary (?) and puzzle-solving, and is the brains of the operation.
5. I'll add more if I think of anything. If this sounds interesting, feel free to bookmark it!
