The Shady Boss of the Supernatural World

1. Seven years ago, Lin Ranxing was in a car accident and became a vegetable. His soul was dragged into a bizarre world, where he became a player clearing stages.

After seven years of risking his life, he finally cleared every instance and woke up again.

On his first day awake, he got two "surprises": 1. An astronomical medical bill. 2. The world he lived in had been invaded by the bizarre.

While he slept, a long-haired female ghost hung upside down from the ceiling. Her rapidly growing hair reached for him, trying to strangle him.

Lin Ranxing rolled out of the way with agility, grabbed the ghost's waterfall of hair with one hand, and slammed her hard onto the floor. He punched and kicked her until her face was bruised and swollen. Her long hair wrapped tightly around herself, forming a crying face.

Lin Ranxing looked at her coldly. "Your hair grows so fast, and it's in such great condition. Tomorrow, you're going to work doing hair extensions."

Lin Ranxing took over the barbershop at the entrance to his neighborhood.

On his way past a seafood shop to the market, a mutated octopus twisted its many tentacles as it chased the stall owner.

Just as the stall owner was about to be strangled, Lin Ranxing swiftly brought his knife down and chopped off the tentacles.

But even thicker tentacles grew back from the severed ends.

Lin Ranxing paused for two seconds, spotted a business opportunity, and started selling takoyaki in front of the barbershop the next day.

2. A cat demon with razor-sharp claws is assigned to shred vegetables in the kitchen.

A seductive demon who can bewitch people's hearts is sent out to attract customers.

A cannibal demon skilled at cooking becomes the head chef.

A zombie that spits toxic gas works as the stove.

As he hires more and more monsters, Lin Ranxing's business grows and grows. He pays off his bill and achieves financial freedom...

3. Lin Ranxing's business is booming, and he has countless admirers.

One day, after turning down a suitor's confession, he returns home and opens the door. In the darkness, a lonely figure stands by the window, gazing toward the direction he would come from.

Gu Zeyuan, the notorious and universally feared bizarre boss, drops his aloof, haughty act and glares at Lin Ranxing in anger.

Lin Ranxing walks over and takes a sip of wine from his hand. "Are you mad?"

Gu Zeyuan hooks a finger in his tie and pulls him close, then wipes the wine from his lips with his own. His voice is sour and aggrieved. "I've been with you without a name or status. What right do I have to be mad?"
