After the Haitang CEO Retires to the Honmaru

*Mainly Touken Ranbu, no CP, male lead is career-obsessed and loves studying.

Nine out of ten CEOs have stomach problems, eight smell of tobacco, seven can't stand anyone but the female lead, six are germaphobes, five have insomnia, and three are disabled. Once they meet the female lead, they all get better. Four of them are surnamed Gu, three Shen, two Fu, and one Lu. There's always a doctor friend who yells at all hours of the night, "Are you going to let me sleep or not?" And there's always a butler who says, "It's been so long since the young master smiled."

Zong Zhen says he's experienced all of that over the years as a Haitang CEO romance top, except his partner wasn't a woman.

Real CEO Zong Zhen is eighth in his family, and his childhood nickname is Bazhen.

Ever since he became a CEO, his seven brothers, who'd dumped all their work on him, have been making fun of him.

But he worked diligently, and his business flourished, reaching new heights.

One day, his stomach condition flared up and he died young. The Haitang System came to him, saw that he had the looks and a cool, aloof air, and decided he was perfect for playing a domineering CEO.

System: We've got a huge project to work on!

Zong Zhen: Great! I love working on big projects!

System: That's the spirit! Let's take on something big!

Poor CEO, he still doesn't realize they're talking about completely different things~

The day the Haitang System announced he could retire, he wept with joy.

Zong Zhen: I can finally work on the career I really want, sob sob sob.

System: I understand what you mean. I'll apply for a suitable retirement destination for you right away!

Wait, hold on!

Konnosuke nervously crouched in front of Zong Zhen, holding a certificate of permission to travel in its mouth.

"P-please, please, please treat the sword warriors well, okay? Sob, sob! QAQ"

Zong Zhen was cold as ice, though inside he was sobbing too!

Theme: At last, I've found the work I truly want to do!
