My Target Is an NPC in a Dating Sim

Chu Tianshu was transported into a dating game. By completing certain objectives, he could unlock more freedom in the game.

What excited him was that he'd found a pure-hearted college boy in the game who was exactly his type in every way.

He spent all his hard-earned resources on the guy, determined to max out his affection score.

System: [There are five love interests with different appearances and personalities, and the game provides clear routes. Just follow the steps and success shouldn't be hard.]

[...Are you really set on pursuing that random NPC?]

Chu Tianshu: He's the puppy I fell for at first sight! I'm definitely winning him over!

So Chu Tianshu would hand-make chocolates for Male Lead A, go on a seaside vacation with Male Lead B, and get hands-on tennis lessons from Male Lead C... When important holidays rolled around, he had to arrange dates with all five of them.

He diligently completed his missions and finally earned himself the identity of an invincible domineering CEO.

He smiled, certain of victory. Puppy, here I come~!

After a bizarre job interview, Gu Xiao found himself being hounded by some unlucky CEO.

He thought "Chu Group" was there to offer him a job, but the more he read the job description, the more suspicious it looked. He quickly ditched the offer and ran back to school.

Then he got a notice: someone had used his photo to flirt online with a CEO, tricking him out of his entire fortune. That was why the CEO had come looking for him.

Before he could explain, he was dragged off to work to "pay off the debt."

Gu Xiao held a grudge against Chu Tianshu. One day, he heard that Chu Tianshu was planning a business marriage to save his company, which was on the brink of collapse.

He decided to ruin the plan. So, during Chu Tianshu's livestream press conference, he burst in wearing a wedding suit.

"Tianshu, is all this for me?"

Gu Xiao wrapped an arm around Chu Tianshu's and spoke fervently.

"I only wanted to quietly support you from behind the scenes. I never expected you to announce our relationship like this. I'm so moved!"

To his surprise, Chu Tianshu seized the opportunity and took his hand.

"That's right. This is my fiance, my partner of many years."

Gu Xiao: ???

In the corner, Male Lead D's expression darkened.

Gu Xiao had happily become a kept husband, but his troubles kept piling up.

His CEO husband apparently had one, two, three, four, five other people he was involved with!

And judging by the gifts and dates from the past, Chu Tianshu had cared more about all of them than he did about Gu Xiao. :)

The puppy had had enough. The puppy was going to turn evil. :)

Later...

Chu Tianshu woke up, dazed, in his own six-hundred-square-foot bed. Beside him lay his lover, pure-looking and gentle in manner.

"You must be tired after last night. Don't work so hard from now on. You slept for so long," Gu Xiao said.

"It's already noon. It'd be too late to go to the office. Why don't you just skip work today?"

"Lie down and rest... I'll keep you company."

Chu Tianshu clutched his lower back, suffering in silence.

Theme: Don't judge people by appearances.
