Wen Yanning is a Beta office worker with poor health. Every day, he endures the misery of a 996 schedule, unpaid overtime, a boss who uses PUA tactics and dangles empty promises, and coworkers who shift blame and play dirty.
His life is exhausting and dull, and he feels like he could drop dead from overwork at any moment.
Then one day, he falls asleep while working overtime and becomes a little NPC in an idle game.
Wen Yanning QAQ: Do I have to be a wage slave everywhere I go?
The game's owner is a mixed-race Alpha CEO, always dressed in a suit, handsome and expressionless, like a ruthless capitalist from a movie.
Wen Yanning: Thanks, but I don't want to work for a capitalist even in a game.
But before long, he discovers that farming, raising animals, fishing, and mining in the game can randomly earn him real-world items, such as all kinds of fruit, premium ingredients he's never tried, and expensive gems. He can also earn commissions in reality by crafting and running a business. Even his fragile, crisps-like body is gradually getting better.
Wen Yanning: !
Wait, if this is the kind of work, please let me do it for the rest of my life, thanks.
He even finds the ruthless capitalist pleasing to look at.

At first, Song Yuheng thinks playing a game to relax is a nice idea. Later, he finds playing an idle game that affects reality even more fun. Then he realizes that, after all, he should be the one taking care of his own wife.
It's just a shame his wife is a Beta and can't be fully marked.
When his teeth itch during his rut, all he can do is nibble and nuzzle the back of his wife's neck.
Wen Yanning whimpers, unable to take any more: "Wah, there really is no pheromone..."
Song Yuheng's gaze darkens: "How can my wife be so cute even when he cries? Come here, give me a kiss."
-
Song Yuheng at first: Hm? Why is the little guy in this idle game slacking off?
He clicks the mouse and forcibly restores the little guy's energy bar, making him get back to work.
Song Yuheng later: Why can't I spend money in this premium PC game? Why doesn't the shop sell automation robots, and why does it only let the little guy, my wife, do all the work?
Another addition to Mr. Song's daily face-slapping tally.
--Bonus Scene--
The developers of the idle game Leisurely Life announce that the next update will add a partner NPC for the little NPC.
Mr. Song frowns: ? It's getting cold. Maybe I should just have... mmph...
Wen Yanning leaps over and covers his husband's 37-degree mouth: "Damn capitalist, don't go messing with other people's livelihoods!"
