The First Command has two workaholics: Ji Xiu, deputy director of the Mecha Manufacturing Department, and Xie Jinyao, head of the Command. They both treat work like a spouse and loathe married life. The Federal Empire passes a law requiring anyone still unmarried at 28 to report to the Matching Center and enter a forced marriage match, or face suspension and investigation. Ji Xiu and Xie Jinyao, who would rather lose anything than their careers: Help! Forced into marriage, the two hit it off and agree to marry on paper, then divorce a year later. Together, they’ll fight this inhuman rule. Neither of them will get in the other’s way at work! The entire galaxy goes wild: A power couple marriage! Ji Xiu and Xie Jinyao: A power couple working together. (√) Ji Xiu is quite satisfied with their marriage of mutual neglect. Then an Omega friend tells him: “Xie Jinyao says you’re boring, average-looking, flat-bottomed, and eat too much. You’re basically just like an Alpha. She wouldn’t even look at you if you weren’t married for political reasons. She likes them wild and spicy, and she’s just waiting to divorce you!” Ji Xiu, extraordinarily petty, flies into a rage: “Boring? Average-looking?” Fine! He decides to make Xie Jinyao regret everything. First, he’ll make her fall head over heels for him, then dump her without a second thought! He’ll show her what wild and spicy really means! But who knew his very first attempt at seduction would… work. Ji Xiu: ? Some time later. Ji Xiu, a true career obsessive: TvT. Fake career obsessives are so annoying! #Does she seriously still remember we’re only married on paper?# #You said you were a workaholic, so why did you defect?# A few months later, the Empire repeals its heartless law. Ji Xiu earnestly suggests, “Shouldn’t we get divorced now?” Xie Jinyao pins him in her arms, gritting her teeth. “No. I’ll never divorce you, not even if I die!” Ji Xiu: I took things too far. QAQ Only later does he learn that the marriage was Alpha’s doing, and the sloppy agreement was deliberate. She’d had her eye on him from the very beginning! #If only I’d been a little more cunning!# * Xie Jinyao has liked Ji Xiu for a long time. She thought arranging their marriage would lead to a cold, distant relationship. But just a few days after the wedding… They were head over heels for each other. OvO Reading guide: 1.

[Female A, Male O]” Poor, pitiful, scheming and obsessive Alpha Xie Chun x goofy, lazy, office-worker Omega Wen Jiu [Goofy comedy / no logic / light reading] Blurb revised. Wen Jiu decides to break up. Here’s what happened: He used 2,000 yuan to force his bankrupt nemesis, Xie Chun, into a relationship, determined to get revenge for all the years she’d pushed him around! But the next day, he awakens to the truth. He’s the villainous male lead in a second-chance romance, the man who loves the heroine but can’t have her, and does every wicked thing imaginable. He bullies the sweet, gentle male lead and serves as the catalyst for both sabotaging and advancing the romance between the leads. In the end, he forces the heroine into a relationship, and she drives him to bankruptcy, breaks his legs, sells him off to Java, and leaves him to be eaten by star beasts until not a trace of him remains! How does paying 2,000 yuan count as forcing someone into a relationship? After dying from overwork at a 996 job in his past life, Wen Jiu sees the workload his plotline requires and thinks: TvT. He just wants to be a lazy couch potato. Wen Jiu: Break up! We have to break up! Getting the short-tempered Xie Chun to break up should be a piece of cake, so he devises a detailed breakup plan. On day one, he makes her kiss him eighteen times. On day two, he calls her incessantly to harass her. On day three, he tells her to uphold Alpha virtue and not even look at anyone else! Some time later. Xie Chun: “Darling, you’re my precious little sweetheart. Darling, you’re playing with fire. Darling, you’re mine. Darling, are you trying to play hard to get?” Wen Jiu: ?! Why do her lines sound more and more like a domineering CEO? Why is everything getting weirder? And why does she keep demanding kisses and cuddles and tempting him to touch her abs? Wen Jiu never gets the angry breakup he’s waiting for. Instead, Xie Chun looks at him more and more strangely, like she’s going to eat him alive. It’s over. He’s a goner. Wen Jiu sobs in the middle of the night. “Waaah, I’m really going to have to eat plain steamed buns.” Xie Chun wraps him in her arms and comforts him. “Don’t be scared, darling. I’m not bankrupt, so we won’t have to eat plain steamed buns.” Wen Jiu stares at her. “!!!!” Damn it, now he’s going to die even sooner! He bursts into even louder tears! Run! If he doesn’t run now, he’s done for! Wen Jiu runs away from home, but after three days Xie Chun turns the place upside down and drags him back. He panics. The Alpha who used to indulge his every whim grips him by the neck and stares at him menacingly. “You’re mine.” Wen Jiu bursts into tears. “You-you-you’re bullying me!! I hate you so much!!” That night, he really does find out what bullying means. The Alpha bites his earlobe, utterly irresistible, ignores his pleas, and asks in a husky voice, “Are you going to run away again?” Wen Jiu’s eyes are red. “Waaah… no… I won’t.” What on earth is wrong with this plot? He really just wants to be a lazy couch potato! He cheated, but didn’t quite get it right. × Xie Chun is reborn. After countless betrayals, schemes, and mockery, her heart is colder than ice. As for anyone who tries to hurt her, she’ll make them pay all over again. When she is eight, her older brother sends people to beat her up. Just as she’s about to fight back, a little kid rushes out and smashes a glass craft right into their faces. He clings to her, terrified out of his mind, yet still yells furiously, “Do you even know who she’s got looking out for her? Get lost, all of you!” She recognizes him. He’s Wen Jiu, who spent her previous life clinging to her and forcing her into a relationship when she was down on her luck. She can’t wait to see how he’ll force her into a relationship this time. But then… Wen Jiu takes her farming, feeding chickens, climbing trees, crawling through dog doors, playing games, and catching crabs… Xie Chun: ??? She waits and waits for Wen Jiu to force her into a relationship, but instead he takes another Alpha farming, feeding chickens, and climbing trees. Xie Chun: … Damn it! Where are her hands? Get away from him! Xie Chun spends her entire adolescence in a rage, until Wen Jiu finally gives her a few bumps on the head. With red-rimmed eyes, he yells, “I hate you so much!! You and I are enemies for life!” Xie Chun succeeds in taking the story off course, but she isn’t happy at all. Night after night, she goes crazy thinking about the lazy Omega and his languid way of speaking. She secretly sniffs the pheromones left on his old clothes, and hates every person who gets close to him like a lunatic. She wants him to look at no one but her, forever and ever. So… She takes a friend’s advice and pretends to be miserable to get close to him, then unexpectedly gets the chance to have Wen Jiu rent her as his girlfriend. She lays one trap after another to gradually ensnare him, but who would’ve thought Wen Jiu would come home asking for hugs and kisses and sneakily feel her abs? She instantly loses control. She grabs him by the waist, pins him against the wall, and kisses him with red-rimmed eyes. #What should I do when my boyfriend seduces me?# #He wants me to kiss him twelve times a day# #He’s seducing me again# #I want to lock him up# Reading guide: 1.
