A Wage Slave, But I Found My Way to Success in a Dating Sim

Zhong Wanshu transmigrates across worlds.

Her real situation: a full-dive romance conquest game, featuring a group of noble young masters and their pretty maids of every shape and size.

Zhong Wanshu: I get it! A free job as a maid! Thanks for the opportunity.

With unemployment so high these days, wage slaves are forced to work themselves to the bone. I’m naturally immune to romance, so flirting? Not happening! If he’s getting close to me, he must be trying to exploit me!

In the conquest game.

The original plot: A group of employers’ sons, each with his own style, from suave and cool to handsome and aloof, and their sweet, charming maids share all kinds of romantic interactions, with enough push and pull for a whole idol drama.

Famous scene one: The heroine is whisked away by the domineering hero to an upscale clothing store, where she makes a stunning appearance in a new outfit.

Wage slave Zhong Wanshu: What? Going out on my day off? That counts as overtime. The law says holiday overtime pay is double!

Famous scene two: The young master’s prized cat is stuck in a tree. The kindhearted heroine rolls up her pants and shows off her skills, winning the cat’s affection and dazzling its owner!

Wage slave Zhong Wanshu: Don’t worry, young master! I’ve got the kitty by the scruff of the neck, so its fate is in my hands. It did scratch me, though, so I need a shot. That counts as a work injury! Also, could someone give me a hand? I can’t get down.

The young masters waiting to be won over gradually realize that there’s a maid in their home whose whole vibe is completely out of place.

You talk about love, she talks about wages.

You want romance and moonlight, she needs to work and earn money.

The young masters: Do you even know how to play a conquest game?!

Wage slave: ??

What does winning someone over and falling in love have to do with a wage slave like her?

No! It does have something to do with her!

She can earn more money!

The Male Lead’s Story

Gu Qi is the “Hunchback of the Clock Tower” who lives in a castle.

His birth is a disgrace. He is a despised, gloomy creature, unworthy of being called human.

But he doesn’t care.

No one in this castle is any cleaner than anyone else.

The outsiders, those maids, mutter strange words like “conquerable” and “unconquerable.”

It’s quite amusing.

Observation Diary 1:

[Those maids have different things inside their bodies at different times.]

[What could they be?]

A few of them approach him.

They show him kindness, stand up for him, and try to seduce him, boldly or clumsily, all while claiming they want to heal him.

A few of them are very wary of him.

They suggest to his brothers that they deal with him early.

Why? They say he’ll kill everyone!

He’s a madman.

Gu Qi is surprised, because what they say is true. It’s his plan for the future.

But how do they know?

Oh, they say this world is a game.

How boring.

Observation Diary 2:

[A strange woman has appeared.]

[She’s like those things, but somehow different.]

She doesn’t know that a maid only needs to “keep company” with the young masters.

It’s really funny watching her rush around working every day.

Oh, she approaches him, too. There’s pity in her eyes, but it’s completely different from everyone else’s.

I don’t dislike it.

If it were her, he’d like to try.

Try that thing the women told him about: the love between a man and a woman.

▲ A super-oblivious wage-slave heroine VS a morally twisted, love-starved male lead with skin hunger (for the heroine only)

1. The male lead is a yandere and a dangerous person. The heroine is an easygoing wage slave, not a strong female lead. She may be weak, but I believe everyone who works hard, lives fully, and loves life is strong.

2. A harem-style romantic rivalry, but no picking a favorite. The male and female leads are devoted to each other, 1v1. In the game, the girls are rivals, but there’s no need to insist that one is good and another bad. It’s just a game, so don’t take it seriously.

3. An alternate setting with personal worldbuilding! A touch of supernatural fantasy!

4. Enjoy the story. If it’s not for you, please drop it without telling me. Mwah!

5. Advance notice for a new story, June 27, 2024.

Next story in the works, “When the Beloved Omega Reboots as an Everyman Beta.” Please add it to your collection. Blurb below

She is the omega everyone in the Aohai star system knows.

She is fragile and beautiful.

She is delicate and alluring.

Her pheromones are a perfect match for the top Alpha elites of the star system.

There is a Star Marshal, a shrewd businessman, a public idol, and an elite military academy student.

She becomes the canary these Alphas carefully keep and obsess over.

She is beloved by all, and history will remember her only for her many affairs.

That was how it was supposed to be!

But

Magnetic fields run wild, alien beasts rampage, order collapses, and an apocalyptic crisis descends upon the star system.

Only powerful Alphas can save humanity, but the magnetic storms make their minds dangerously prone to collapse.

Humanity is thrown into utter panic.

Then that beautiful omega steps forward.

She leaps into the very heart of the magnetic storm.

Only then does everyone discover just how vast her mental realm is!

She suppresses the storm and guides the mental energy of the Alpha soldiers on the verge of going berserk, stabilizing them!

She prevents the “end of the star system” from arriving!

After her mental companions help quell the chaos that follows, some follow her, while others suffer mental collapse.

Her name is remembered not only as a precious, delicate omega, but as something even more legendary.

One hundred and eighty years later.

Angela, once an omega, now reborn as a beta: ...

Her name is Jiang Mingnuo, also known as Angela. This is her second rebirth.

The first time, she was reborn from Blue Star into the star system as a precious, fragile omega, a strange creature who could make powerful Alphas lose control and pursue her just by releasing her pheromones.

She couldn’t accept it!

Sisters! You really can’t live like that.

Whoever wants to be beloved by all can do it! She’s had more than enough.

The men’s cloying, sinister, burning gazes, their scents, their touches: all of it was terrifying.

When she really couldn’t take it anymore, a world-ending crisis erupted.

Well, enough about the past. In her second rebirth, she seems to still be in the Aohai star system.

Her: ... I’ll just close my eyes and pretend I never woke up.

Wait! What?

She’s changed from a precious, fragile omega into an ordinary, average beta.

Huh?

That seems pretty good!

A few days after she starts celebrating, she hears that those Alphas are coming after her.

#Can’t you Alphas walk on your own? Why are you so clingy and annoying!

#I’m telling you, I’m a beta now! Stop looking like you’re in heat. I can’t do that anymore!

#Everyone, she’s already a beta and she’s still beloved by all. Does that even make sense?
