The Overworked Wage Slave Is Forced to Take On the Protagonist's Holy Aura

Synopsis: After He Chaoxi suffers a devastating car accident, he is reborn and returns to the second round of ability-awakening tests at the age of eighteen.

"Chaoxi, don't space out. Pay attention." His childhood friend's slender figure and delicate, feminine beauty make him the center of attention, with passersby constantly sneaking glances at him.

He Chaoxi's thoughts return for a moment at his childhood friend's reminder, then start wandering again. He isn't expecting much from the awakening test. In his previous life, both of his test results showed that he was an unawakened ordinary person. Naturally, his dream of becoming a hero was shattered, and after graduation he became a regular office worker.

By contrast, his seemingly frail childhood friend awakened as an SSS-rank ability user and later became the darling of fate. So, with their lives taking such different turns, it was only inevitable that they would part ways at life's crossroads...

Just then, the results of He Chaoxi's second test are announced:

[He Chaoxi: Assessment result, B-rank ability user]

In this life, he has actually become an awakened one.

He Chaoxi is still in shock and doesn't notice the teasing look in his childhood friend's eyes behind him, or the subtle, intriguing curve of his lips.

A year after awakening, He Chaoxi thinks he can slowly save up money and get an early start on the lie-flat life he's always dreamed of.

But what happens instead?! He keeps rising through the ranks, boosted by incredible luck, with a lucky streak that just won't quit. He gets to enjoy the same treatment his childhood friend Shu Binyang had in his previous life, with fame, money, and power all at his fingertips.

These developments are completely beyond the understanding of an ordinary office worker like him. He's not greedy. A little money is all he needs. He has to return everything else to its rightful owner, or he won't feel at ease. After all, he's like a thief, stealing Shu Binyang's place as the protagonist and taking over his life.

[One day]

"Binyang, you can take over as team captain." He Chaoxi has thought it over for a long time, and finally says it with a sense of relief.

The moment Shu Binyang hears this, his face goes completely blank. Not a muscle moves as he stares fixedly at He Chaoxi.

"Please don't make such ridiculous jokes again." As he speaks, he slowly moves closer, until they're close enough to hear each other's heartbeats.

Cool fingertips brush He Chaoxi's eyelashes, then his eyes and nose, before finally settling on his lips. "My- be-loved Chaoxi, don't leave me."

Each word is spoken slowly, sending a chill down one's spine.

His glasses are removed, and the kisses come thick and unrelenting, leaving him breathless. His childhood friend seems to have broken free of some kind of restraint, becoming utterly uninhibited.

Reading Guide:

Both leads are each other's only partners. One-on-one romance, happy ending. Don't root for the wrong pairing. The obsessive childhood friend will grow taller; he lies low at first, then gets fierce later.

As the story progresses, his illness gets worse and worse. Overprotective, with his love points maxed out. [Disclaimer]
