When a Laid-Back Slacker Stumbles into a Coercion Novel

After dying from overwork, Fu Sui transmigrates into the role of a cannon-fodder Alpha in an old-school coercive romance novel.

He has to follow the System's instructions and crawl through every dark corner of protagonist Shou Qi Yingxue's life, including but not limited to surveillance, silver and gold chains, and locking him up in a little black room... But the System doesn't have enough energy. It can only make Fu Sui sign a nine-to-five work contract before it logs off with a plop.

So he only has to be a pervert for eight hours a day?

What a touching work schedule. It's a deal.

From then on, Fu Sui keeps up his sinister persona, diligently playing the creepy, obsessive ghost during work hours. Outside work, though, he becomes a wealthy, and very wealthy, couch potato.

*

Qi Yingxue was born into a wealthy family. His healing fragrances made him famous throughout the country, and he had a top-tier Alpha fiancé. Then an accident sent him tumbling from the clouds. His family was buried in debt, his fiancé became a vegetable, and the vermin lurking in the gutters came swarming toward him as if a floodgate had opened.

Fu Sui, a trash Alpha whom Qi Yingxue once wouldn't have deigned to glance at.

But he was the first person to dare kidnap him, then threaten and tempt him into living together. While Qi Yingxue was setting a trap to lure him in, he unexpectedly discovered something strange.

One day, Qi Yingxue came home unusually early. The clock on the wall read 5:01 p.m.

Fu Sui emerged from the kitchen wearing a cartoon apron and carrying a bowl of steaming hot malatang. He gave Qi Yingxue a casual glance, then sat down at the dining table and ate with elegant composure, not paying him the slightest attention.

After a full day's work, Fu Sui, exhausted and expressionless: I'm off the clock. Don't bother me.

Qi Yingxue, who had received a threatening text from him just three minutes earlier: ???

Multiple personalities?

Not sure. Let's wait and see.

Later,

Qi Yingxue accidentally sat on Fu Sui's thigh. Before he could say anything, Fu Sui shoved him away as firmly as a monument to chastity.

Qi Yingxue: ...

[Fu Sui by day and Fu Sui by night are practically two different people.]

[I don't know when it started, but I must be sick. I've actually begun to obsess over the Fu Sui I see during the day, the brazen, neurotic one who looks ready to bore right through me...]

[Where did all of Fu Sui's sinister madness go?]

[Why hasn't he come to keep me all to himself?]

● Suited bruiser · unaware of his own beauty · absolutely refuses to work overtime · lazy rich couch potato gong X sweet on the surface, dark within · skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting · wins himself over · explosively possessive · outwardly gentle shou

● One-on-one, gong's point of view, size difference, Alpha/Omega pairing. The fiancé is a red herring for the shou, and the engagement will be called off.

● The person on the cover is Fu Sui. The full-size image is on Weibo. It doesn't look very good... so please just bear with it. I even drew it myself, go easy on me T-T~~
