Xu Disheng is laid off. The company boss says they hired him because his refined, professional appearance made him seem like a talented workhorse, but it turns out he's an idiot beauty who clocks in right on time every morning, leaves on the dot every evening, is useless at everything, and is the champion of lying flat. So he gets fired.
Xu Disheng has his pride, too. He dusts himself off and walks away, quitting on the spot. Just as everyone is stunned, thinking he's lost his mind, Xu Disheng enters the CEO's office and is left dumbfounded himself. Can someone tell him what the heck is going on with this CEO, who looks so much like his twin, and this "CEO Substitute Contract" in front of him?
That's right, he's not the CEO's long-lost first love. He's the CEO himself. Xu Disheng immediately wants to tear up the contract. What kind of nonsense is this? He came here to carry on the legacy of the CEO's first love, who's gone overseas, and wanted to be a delicate little vine clinging to someone else. He doesn't want to go from being a 996 wage slave to the ultimate 777 wage slave!
But the CEO offers him an astronomical sum.
Xu Disheng gives in. Who could resist money's charms?
Xu Disheng smiles cautiously and asks, "So, what are you going to do, Mr. CEO...?"
The CEO says, "Play video games."
Xu Disheng: "Huh?"
And so Xu Disheng watches as the other man takes his ID and sets off on the road to becoming an esports legend, while he is left to toil like a wage slave in a hundred-square-meter office.
The company's new drama becomes a hit, its stock price rises, and it successfully goes public. He knows nothing about any of it. He's just a substitute CEO!
One day, the CEO recklessly announces that he's going to pursue him.
Xu Disheng finds it ridiculous. "Come on, look at my face. Don't you think this is like dating yourself or getting into an incestuous relationship?"
The CEO doesn't think so. Instead, he says, "I just like this face. I'm in love with myself."
