My Online Romance with My Sly Boss Went Off the Rails

(Opening reservations at 500+! I promise this will open! Go ahead and bookmark it!! I'm very diligent!!)

Cheng Buran's roommate has recently gone through a breakup. She says a cunning player used her for her money and body, and tearfully begs Cheng Buran to avenge her.

Cheng Buran: "...I'm straight. I'm not into girls."

Roommate: "That's exactly why you won't fall for her, so you can help me play her!"

Cheng Buran: "..."

In the end, she can only use a secret identity account on WeChat to add the player, using as her profile picture the photo of her long-lost crush, whom no one has been able to find for ages.

The player accepts instantly.

After Cheng Buran adds her, she sends over a photo of her abs and impossibly defined waistline, without changing expression.

Before she can say a word, the player replies at once: [Not high-res enough. Send a few more, and let me see your chest too.]

Cheng Buran: "..."

To finish the job as soon as possible, Cheng Buran has to use every trick in the book, diligently seducing the player every day.

There are cat outfits that show off her abs and come with a tail, an irresistibly seductive deep-sea mermaid outfit, a shamelessly hot maid outfit... In short, she's got it all.

Gradually, she flirts the player into calling her "Baby." The woman's voice is clear and beguiling. Cheng Buran listens without changing expression, but her ears still turn red despite herself.

Eventually, the player can't resist meeting in person. Cheng Buran feels victory is within reach and is in a much better mood!

Then, during summer break, she goes to intern at a big company. On her first day, she meets her direct supervisor, whose voice is 80 percent like the player's, and who looks not merely similar to her long-lost crush, but exactly identical.

This is terrible. Has she been in an online relationship with her direct supervisor?!

Wait... The player is her direct supervisor?!

Somebody save her, save her, save her!!!

Cheng Buran rushes to run for it, but one mishap after another keeps her from resigning. All she can do is nervously work hard by her supervisor's side, careful not to give anything away.

She doesn't notice her supervisor's gaze growing stranger and more covetous by the day.

At last, after pulling out all the stops, she successfully resigns. Her supervisor says she'll throw her a farewell party and invites the entire department.

Cheng Buran is made to drink a few glasses. When she wakes again, she discovers she's wearing the JK uniform she'd refused to put on for a long time.

Her direct supervisor stands before her, holding her phone and looking at her with an amused smile. On the screen is the profile picture of the crush on her secret identity WeChat account.

She lifts Cheng Buran's chin and leans close, her breath fragrant, but her smile is as dangerous as a snake's. "Buran, tell me. Why did you use my photo to start an online relationship with me?"

Cheng Buran: "...QVQ~"

#Can I get dressed before I explain?!

#Wait, shouldn't my roommate be the one explaining this?!
