Story blurb:

A freak car accident completely changed the course of Su Ranqi's aimless life as an obscure artist.

Before: Eat, sleep, play games, and constantly miss deadlines while arguing with his editor.

After: Work, work, and nothing but work.

The culprit was a sharp-tongued workaholic who inexplicably moved into his body after the accident.

Not only was he strict with himself, he held everyone else to the same standard.

For a lazy couch potato who just wanted to lie flat, life became a daily ordeal.

Worse still, if they didn't solve the problem in time, the soul inside his body would dissipate into nothing.

The situation looked promising, but the pressure was real! With a life at stake, even a couch potato had to make an effort.

Luckily, after being possessed, he discovered that he'd become a lucky charm who could win without lifting a finger.

He could easily pull SSRs in gacha games.

The deadlines that usually gave him a splitting headache got pushed back without a hitch.

His dream career finally took off...

And after a string of lucky breaks sent the soul inside him back to its own body, he gained a boyfriend.

Su Ranqi: My boyfriend is great in every way, but what a shame he has a mouth! I want to return him.jpg

Wei Zhuo was a popular singer with a cool exterior but a sharp tongue and a fussy personality. He was a well-known workaholic in the industry, with countless fans and a thriving career.

Then one day, he found his soul had ended up in the body of a lazy shut-in. From then on, he lived a happy life of getting driven crazy every single day.

Wei Zhuo: What the heck?!

But he forgot that human nature is to end up loving what you once hated.

After his soul returned, Wei Zhuo said, "Honey, come here and let me pinch your cheeks~"

[Advance blurb]

Fu Yuan was once an emerald dragon hatchling blessed by the god of art on the continent of Novano. Now he's an artist making a living drawing comics.

In an unfamiliar modern society, he no longer has to put up with his grandfather's endless lectures about how pursuing art is a useless way to spend his time. But at the same time, he's lost the wealth and glory his dragonkind once enjoyed when they ruled the entire continent.

So the great mission of restoring the glory of the continent of Novano can only fall to him! (Fist pump)

But how is he supposed to do it?

Just as he was running out of ideas, he realized his new editor, Rong Xiafan, looked a lot like the hero who used to chase his second uncle around with a sword.

This has to be fate!

Dragon hatchling: Y-you're the hero, aren't you?!

Hero: Sorry, I'm not.

Dragon hatchling: N-no, you have to be! I've seen your portrait!

Hero: ...Fine, I am.

Dragon hatchling: Did you come to help me restore the glory of Western fantasy?

Hero: No. I have a more important mission.

Dragon hatchling: What is it? What is it?!

Hero: Making you turn in your work.

Dragon hatchling: ...

Fu Yuan realized that this legendary genius hero was nothing like he had imagined. He had no fighting spirit at all.

But Fu Yuan wasn't giving up!

Dragon hatchling: I've thought of another plan to restore our glory!

Hero: Oh, great. Can you turn in the chapters you've been late on for three installments now?

Dragon hatchling: ...Waaah, I'm running away from home!

Hero: Give me the chapters, and I'll pack your bags myself.

Dragon hatchling: ...

Faced with his former countryman, who was deeply uncooperative but controlled the household's meal budget, Fu Yuan's resentment grew as he raced to meet his deadlines. It triggered an apocalyptic System that claimed it could help him reclaim his power and status.

Fu Yuan was absolutely terrified.

Help! The cactus is talking!

In short, this is a chuunibyou story about "a dragon hatchling who's determined to restore the glory of Western fantasy with the hero, while the hero only cares about whether the dragon hatchling can turn in his work on time."
