The Max-Level Expert Only Wants to Be a Couch Potato

Things are a little hectic at the end of the year. Updates begin on the first.

To put it nicely, Qin Shinian was a CEO. To put it less nicely, he was a highly paid employee, going to bed later than a dog and getting up earlier than a chicken. He attended banquets only to network, never got full when dining with people, and forced himself to get up for winter morning runs to maintain his image.

In the end, he died on the way to work a 996 schedule for his company.

Now he has two pieces of news.

The bad news: after dying, he was reborn in a stranger's body. This body was useless at everything, and the owner hadn't even graduated from college.

The good news: the man had the same name as him, was an orphan who had inherited a huge fortune, and had 200 million in his account. He could lie flat, retire early, and never be a corporate drone again.

On his first day of retirement, Qin Shinian drank, went clubbing, raced cars, and hired male escorts.

On his third day, Qin Shinian was reported for illegal transactions and hauled off to the police station. The person who came to bail him out looked very familiar.

Qin Shinian, internally: What the hell?

Zhou Muyang, Qin Shinian's archenemy and childhood friend in his previous life. At school, Qin Shinian was the second most handsome guy, while Zhou was first. Qin Shinian went to a top-tier university, while Zhou went to Tsinghua or Peking University. Qin Shinian became a CEO, while Zhou inherited his family business and became chairman. Zhou outshone him at every turn.

Now Qin Shinian was in the police station, watching Zhou Muyang come to bail him out.

Qin Shinian: ???

What was going on? In this new life, had he become his old archenemy's nephew by marriage, even if only in name?

On the Nth day of his retirement, Qin Shinian stood outside Zhou Muyang's bedroom in his pajamas and called out very obediently, "Hello, Uncle Zhou."

Then he watched as the man grabbed his pajama belt and dragged him into the bedroom with a smile in his eyes. "Good boy."

A real slacker, fake workaholic bottom x real workaholic, fake slacker elite top

Years of secret love finally bear fruit.

P.S. There is no adoption or blood relation of any kind. The top knew the original owner's father, which is why he calls him Uncle.

Here's a preview of a future story in my collection: The White Moonlight Loves the Villain

Blurb: After living for twenty-three years, Qi Tu discovered he was the white moonlight in a melodramatic novel.

In the novel, the top and bottom misunderstood each other and overcame all kinds of obstacles before getting together. Qi Tu, the white moonlight, was merely a spice in their romance, a stepping stone to their happy ending.

When the male lead's mother slapped down a check for ten million, the white moonlight even tearfully said, "Auntie, I don't love money."

What a load of rubbish. Who doesn't love money? According to the story, he just wanted something even bigger. Of course, the ending was that he was banished to some island overseas, where he lived a miserable life alone.

After awakening to the truth, Qi Tu could only say, "Seriously, what is wrong with you?"

Who says the white moonlight has to love the male lead?

Forget ten million. Give him five million and he could walk away with the money.

The story was currently at the part where he had returned from studying abroad, and the official top had left his boyfriend behind to pick him up.

Thinking about how his story would end, Qi Tu smiled faintly. He casually picked the most handsome, most distinguished-looking man at the airport, put an arm around his shoulders, and said to the official top, "Hey, long time no see."

At first, Qi Tu only wanted a brief fling and a way to escape his predetermined fate.

Later, he realized he had gone from one extreme to another. This man seemed like trouble, too.

One day, after the two had eaten, they took a walk in the garden. The man beside him adjusted his monocle and suddenly said, "I really want to go with you to a deserted island, just the two of us, far away from everyone."

Qi Tu stumbled, dumbfounded. "Huh?"
