The Useless Beauty Card Is Forced to Be Pampered by Players

Liang Xiu is a player of a game that simulates being a game developer. As a ruthless min-maxer, he won't let useless cards anywhere near his team!

Until he falls in love at first sight with a beautiful NPC whose stats are so bad that adding him to the team would actually lower its overall performance.

What's wrong with being a useless three-star with blank stats?! The player has plenty of stamina, methods, grinding time, and a blue-and-green stat editor!

If you love him, marry him, max out his card stats, give him a top-tier team, and help him become the best in the profession!

Then the game gets an update and launches a fully immersive version.

...Wait, why does the NPC have a life of his own? Isn't his partner supposed to belong entirely to him?!

After marrying Liang Xiu, the man he'd fallen in love with at first sight, Shen Zhi thought he'd have a sweet married life.

But...

There was no passionate, earth-shattering love, just chaste kisses and cuddles.

There was no loving, blissful life together, just a brutal workload that kept him working at his husband's studio until two or three in the morning every day.

There was no understanding, considerate partner. This celebrated rising star of the industry sometimes seemed like a machine that couldn't understand plain speech.

Shen Zhi fell into deep thought. He still loved Liang Xiu, and Liang Xiu really did treat him as someone special, but was it possible that Liang Xiu had married him just to target his poverty and help him out?

But he wasn't exactly talented, either.

With Liang Xiu showering him with resources and work, as if planning to take him from level zero to max level in a month, Shen Zhi became thoroughly work-worn and gradually numb.

At this point, he could no longer bring himself to say, "Actually, my dream is to lie flat and be useless."

Then Liang Xiu went from being a machine to being a lovesick fool.

His kisses left Shen Zhi breathless, he gave him a normal work schedule, and he started clinging to him at full intensity around the clock.
