[Rebellious CEO top × laid-back assistant bottom]
Lin Sheng awakens to the fact that he's the cannon-fodder assistant in a CEO romance novel. He works diligently, only to die while taking a knife for the protagonist bottom.
Lin Sheng is furious: Why should he? He's going to rebel!
Lin Sheng deletes confidential files, and time resets. Lin Sheng tears up a contract, and time resets. Lin Sheng spoils the plot to the protagonist top, and time resets.
As long as he deviates from the plot, everything automatically rewinds. Doesn't that mean he's doomed to die?
So Lin Sheng gives up.
If he's going to die anyway, he's done showing up to work!
However, he isn't the only one who's awakened.
His cold, domineering CEO boss has awakened too: Pei Zhaoye, the overpowered protagonist top.
Awakening would be one thing, but the frosty, aloof man has transformed into a rebellious husky who loves tearing up the house. He keeps ignoring the plot and even tries to woo Lin Sheng into becoming another grasshopper tied to his broken rope.
After resetting and making eighteen cups of coffee, Lin Sheng's fluffy charm goes viral, and he does his utmost to steer the plot back on track.
The plot says Pei Zhaoye should discuss a marriage alliance with the protagonist bottom. Pei Zhaoye's eyes flash. “You can forget about, ”
“Your rash idea,” Lin Sheng says with a smile. “You can't just sign a piece of paper and call it marriage. I'll take care of the household registration. You two are staying together.”
The plot says Pei Zhaoye should sign a problematic contract handed over by his scumbag father. Pei Zhaoye folds his arms and refuses to cooperate.
Lin Sheng opens his bag, rummages through the heaps of documents waiting for signatures, and puts one in each man's hand. “Help yourselves. There's plenty to go around.”
Thanks to Lin Sheng's tireless efforts, the plot takes off, the laid-back one collapses, and Pei Zhaoye's gaze starts to change.
When Pei Zhaoye grabs him by the waist, eyes red, Lin Sheng is baffled.
Dude, look closely. He's not the protagonist bottom. He's cannon fodder!
Bonus scene:
During the drugging scene, Lin Sheng brings the protagonist bottom over and is just about to make a quick escape when a large hand drags him inside.
Scorching breath draws near his lips. The next moment
Lin Sheng is back outside the room, with the protagonist bottom beside him.
After it happens over and over, Pei Zhaoye kicks open the door and shoves him against the wall. “No way. You're not running.”
Lin Sheng yawns and glances down. “After resetting this many times, if you don't save yourself soon, it's going to break.”
Pei Zhaoye: ...
Want to see which of us breaks first?
Tip:
One-on-one, both virgins, happy ending, younger top, no romantic tension between the top and the original protagonist bottom.
Theme: Breaking free from fate.
