Thanks for asking. I'm in heaven, and I just died.
As a poor but independent young man, Shu Run tripped while rushing to catch the bus on his way to work one day, and died just like that.
Having done good deeds all his life, Shu Run opened his eyes, ready to embrace his new life in heaven. However...
"Good day, Head Butler!"
A row of men and women dressed as butlers and maids stood before him, looking at him respectfully...
Shu Run: ?
"Head Butler, the young master is bringing his girlfriend home for the first time today. You should give everyone their instructions."
Something was wrong.
Very wrong.
"The young master is coming home?" Shu Run slipped into character in a heartbeat.
"Yes, Head Butler."
Shu Run looked around, then glanced down at the Head Butler nameplate on his suit and felt a sense of foreboding...
"Hasn't the young master smiled in ten years?"
The footman gave the unusually odd-acting Head Butler a puzzled look, but answered honestly anyway:
"Have you forgotten? The young master met Miss Bai last month and smiled for the first time in ten years."
Shu Run discreetly pinched his thigh. Ow... It hurt.
"Isn't the young master every woman in the city’s dream man?"
The other man gave Shu Run a strange look.
"Have you forgotten, Head Butler? The young master has topped the list of men women in the Imperial Capital most want to marry for ten years running!"
Clinging to his last shred of hope, Shu Run asked, "Does the young master happen to have a close friend who's a brilliant doctor?"
"You don't even remember Young Master Chu? Head Butler, are you all right?"
The footman looked worried.
"..."
"Host, please do your best to complete your missions without breaking character. While the System repairs the bugs in this small world, play your role as the Head Butler well. Once you complete your mission, you can return to your original world and be cured of your ailments!"
Shu Run chewed on his fingernail.
"What if I break character?"
"Then the Host will go to hell."
There was no denying it: the threat worked.
And so Shu Run diligently played the role of the domineering CEO's butler, making frequent use of his catchphrases:
"This is the first time I've seen the young master smile like that..."
"The young master has never brought a woman home before..."
"The young master is finally willing to open his heart to someone..."
"The young master's strange allergy to women has finally been cured after all these years..."
Life went on, ordinary and dull.
Until one day, Shu Run used his usual excuse of going out to buy silk boxers for the CEO to sneak off for some luosifen. There, he spotted the CEO, who should have been in the US on a business trip, earning tens of millions by the minute, sitting at a table in the luosifen shop. He was holding a braised egg between his chopsticks and looking right at Shu Run...
Their eyes met.
"OOC index: zero percent."
Huh?
Another day, Butler Shu used the excuse of having custom diamond-studded slippers made for the CEO's beloved white flower to sneak out for a drink. Across the booth, he saw the white flower herself, who should have been a well-behaved, studious girl on campus, taking a long drag from a slim cigarette. One foot was propped up on the sofa, and she had a pretty young man in her arms, calling her "big sister"...
Their eyes met.
"OOC index: zero percent."
Huh???!!!
Butler Shu had discovered a whole new world.
