A Straightforward Worker Gets Tangled Up with a Supernatural Boss

Lu Luosheng is an honest, mild-mannered man who accepts whatever comes his way. He's ordinary in every respect, has few friends because he's withdrawn, gets bullied at work, and earns very little. His life can be summed up in one sentence: 2,800 yuan in wages, yelled at all day.

Then one day, he dreamed that he'd somehow fallen in love with a man. After waking up, he was bullied by his coworkers as usual, only to discover that his new boss looked exactly like the boyfriend from his dream. And it wasn't just him... A suddenly appearing "childhood friend" asked him out after work. An uncle he'd never known showed up to stop him from dating anyone else. Even his roommate started acting strange.

His already miserable real life descended into chaos. He suddenly got promoted and a raise, more and more people appeared around him, and everyone treated him kindly. And why were his dreams getting stranger and stranger? Why did every boss want to kiss him?!

Every night, Lu Luosheng would lose his memories and go to a place called the Strange Town... to keep job hunting and working like a corporate drone.

The players who had just escaped with their lives gasped, their faces full of fear. "The boss in this round was terrifying! I almost died."

Lu Luosheng had just broken free from the boss's arms, breathless from being kissed. "Did you almost get kissed to death by the boss too? Terrifying! What kind of boss keeps kissing their employee nonstop?"

The players: ??? Are we talking about the same boss?

1. Theological Seminary: Crimson Haze

Lu Luosheng got a job in the seminary's support staff, otherwise known as the cleaner and general handyman. He worked diligently, but while he was at it, the aloof dean started clinging to him, claiming they had been lovers in a previous life.

An honest man like Lu Luosheng would be the first cannon-fodder to die in a mystery show. At a critical moment, the boss went berserk, and the players naturally shoved him out to take the hit. But then the enraged boss suddenly calmed down and hugged him around the waist, acting sweet and clingy.

"Baby, should I kill them all to avenge you?" The vicious boss was as obedient as a giant dog in front of him.

Only then did the players realize that the most terrifying thing wasn't the bizarre boss, but this unremarkable NPC. They regretted it so much they could have kicked themselves.

PS: Not every world will necessarily have alternate versions of the same character, but there will definitely be a chaotic love rivalry involving those alternate versions in the real world.

Core message: Fear neither wind nor rain.
