I Turned My Cool, Aloof Boss into a Romance NPC, and Now She's Hooked

The next book, My Wife, the Mother Tree, is available for pre-order below~

Qin Suhe is a genius game developer in the industry. With a striking, dangerously beautiful face, she's been praised as a woman whose talent and ability are beyond anyone's reach.

On her first day back in China and starting at a top game company, Qin Suhe opens the office door and sees the new boss everyone says is the hardest to deal with.

The woman's cool gaze sweeps over her appraisingly. Her metal collar clasp is fastened neatly to the very top, and her tone is distant. “It's been a while, Director Qin.”

No one knows they once dated.

Qin Suhe hates how rational Zhu Jun is. Even in her hands, she never begged for mercy.

That night, Qin Suhe starts up her full-dive simulator, loads Zhu Jun's data, and adds settings like [Extremely Attached], [Easily Manipulated], and [Obedient to Every Command].

And so...

[World 1: Lanling High School's Equipment Room] Qin Suhe corners top student Zhu Jun and forces her to write a love letter, her eyes reddening.

[World 2: Prison in the New World] She's the warden. She tips up dangerous prisoner Zhu Jun's chin. “Have you learned how to please me?”

[World 3: The Mermaid Wife's Tail]

[World 4: A Fuzzy Online Dating Scam]

She recklessly toys with Zhu Jun's data in the game.

Until one day, during a morning meeting, Qin Suhe casually notices a bite mark on Zhu Jun's collarbone, visible above her neckline. It hasn't faded yet.

Wasn't that the bite she'd given her in the game last night?!

*

When Qin Suhe realizes the NPC she's nearly broken through her own games might also be a real person, she hefts her full-dive pod and gets ready to run.

But Zhu Jun blocks her right at her front door.

Her long, slender fingers slowly unfasten her buttons. The woman, usually so cool and distant, presses closer step by step. “Director Qin, there are plenty of new scenarios waiting to be tested.”

“This time, how about I be the warden?”

[Reading Guide]

*A simulator game. The full-dive pod recreates realistic environments, but you can enjoy the story even if you don't play games.

*Absolutely rational woman VS dazzling little madwoman

Also: sweet on the outside, dark within VS a scaredy-cat

*Set in the modern day. Testing game scenarios takes them into different worlds to simulate romance. Three scenarios have already been planned, and more may be added as needed.

My Wife, the Mother Tree

Jiang Chan has always been honest and dutiful. She grew up by the book and then followed her family's advice to go on blind dates and get married.

The only two out-of-character things she has ever done happen one after the other, around the same time.

First, she accidentally kills her new husband.

Second, she falls in love with a tree from beyond Earth.

·

Earth is known throughout the universe as a scam compound that no one ever returns from.

After arriving on Earth with a mission, Fuguang of the Xilawa Star transforms into a tree.

Its home planet once warned it that the ancient humans of Blue Star were vile and hypocritical, weak yet arrogant, and naturally fond of plunder. When they wanted to con someone, they'd say absurd things like, “I am Qin Shihuang. Give me a mineral-rich planet, and when I unify the universe, I'll make you a high-ranking official with a generous salary.”

Fuguang doesn't believe it.

Would anyone really try to scam a tree?

Until one night, a woman in floods of tears comes to its trunk, and it hears her helpless plea.

Help me. Please help me. I'll do anything.

It thinks for a moment, then finally lowers one of its branches.
