An Office Worker Becomes a Cannon-Fodder Tyrant CEO in a Korean Webtoon

* Chen Huai, a low-level corporate drone earning just 3,000 yuan a month, worked himself to death after another all-nighter, only to wake up in the body of a domineering CEO worth tens of billions. Standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows on the 38th floor, he laughed silently. At last, the heavens had opened their eyes! The only downside was the System, which forced a mission on him: “You are now the rich, disposable benefactor in an 18+ Korean webtoon. In a couple of days, you’ll meet the male lead and fall in love at first sight. Then you’ll start keeping him…” Chen Huai frowned. “You mean I’m supposed to keep a man, even though I’m straight?” System: “So what? The male lead is loved by everyone. It’s not like you’ll be suffering… Wait, you’re straight?!” Once a Host is bound, there’s no undoing it. The mission had to begin. As the saying goes, nine out of ten Korean webtoon tops are wife-beaters, and this one was no exception. Chen Huai could only dutifully play the role of a perverted benefactor who was a different person on the inside than he appeared to be, with a dark and twisted heart. Zheng Xuyang was like a pure-white kitten, always panicking whenever Chen Huai gave him a hard time. The mission proceeded with plenty of bumps along the way. Fortunately, the System turned a blind eye, and they managed to get along. Until Zheng Xuyang was drugged, burning with unbearable desire. System: “Your progress has been stuck for ages. Get on with it.” Chen Huai made a miserable face and held out a pleading hand. “No, not this. I really can’t do this.” He was about to run when someone grabbed his wrist. Zheng Xuyang’s eyes were red at the corners from the heat, and he begged in a small voice, “President Yin, can you help me?” An hour later… Chen Huai held a kitchen knife and traced it along his own hand, wondering where he should start cutting. Zheng Xuyang sat up on the living room sofa, his voice hoarse. “Ge, what are you doing?” Chen Huai: Chopping off my hand. A year later, the time had finally come for Chen Huai to abandon Zheng Xuyang. He sent him out of the villa and delivered one last cruel line: “You don’t even know how to please people. Why should I keep you around?” Three years later, Zheng Xuyang got together with the story’s true male lead and retaliated by bringing Chen Huai’s company to the brink of bankruptcy. Chen Huai had to beg and plead to complete the final part of his disposable-character plotline. The day he went to beg for help, he was taken to an office. Zheng Xuyang sat on the sofa, his face, which should have looked innocent, wearing a faintly mocking smile, his eyes dark. He patted his thigh. “Don’t you know how to please people? Get over here.” Chen Huai: ? How does he know?! Get over there my ass! #The twisted mission really is terrifying, but a life of sudden riches is truly spectacular. #I suddenly wanted to write this kind of story. You don’t have to read Korean webtoons to enjoy it. It’s a short story, and I’ll finish it as soon as I can. #Top: A black lotus blooming in the wind # [Bold] If you feel uncomfortable at any point, please stop reading. Don’t force yourself, and there’s no need to let me know. Check out my upcoming story too~ "Is This Nemesis Really Unavoidable?" * Yu Ning, heir to the Marquis of An’s household and the eldest son of the Grand Princess, was a noble among nobles and a beauty among beauties. Everyone said he was born lucky, that he could spend his whole life lying around. But to secure his family’s standing, he sided with the Crown Prince in the succession struggle and constantly gave the Third Prince, Jiang Miao, a hard time. At court, he submitted petitions to criticize him. After court, he would squeeze past him to leave first. Whenever they crossed paths, he’d throw out a sarcastic remark: “The Third Prince seems to have plenty of time on his hands.” So when the Third Prince ascended the throne, Yu Ning died without hesitation. Reborn, Yu Ning decided to give up and do nothing. Unfortunately, he was bound to a System. If he didn’t complete his tasks, he’d end up on the same old path, with his whole family dead. When he heard his task was to win over the Third Prince, Jiang Miao, Yu Ning said, “Is there something wrong with your head? I’m a man.” System: “You can do it.” Yu Ning: “I don’t know how.” He was a young lord. How would he know those tricks of the pleasure quarters? System: “I’ll teach you.” “…” And so: On the road, the System said, “He’s in the pavilion to your right. Go see him and tell him you miss him.” Yu Ning forced a smile. At a banquet, the System said, “He’s drunk and feeling unwell in the back courtyard. Go find him and take him home.” Yu Ning was utterly speechless. After court, the System said, “He’ll forget to lock his door tonight. Sneak in and give him a kiss.” Yu Ning: “…Are you trying to get me killed?” It was dark out, and the unlit room was even darker. The gauze curtains stirred gently as Yu Ning walked to the bed, intending to touch him once and be done with it. The man woke as soon as Yu Ning touched him. His ink-dark eyes caught a glimmer of light, and he stared straight at him. Yu Ning jumped and stumbled backward, but Jiang Miao threw off the covers and got out of bed too. He kept coming until he had Yu Ning pinned against a pillar. They were close enough to touch. Jiang Miao leaned in, his voice hoarse. “Keep kissing me.” Yu Ning’s mind went blank as he was kissed. Suddenly, between gasps, he remembered something and asked the System: Why doesn’t he lock his door when he goes to sleep? Is he doing it on purpose? Jiang Miao bit his lower lip, then rubbed the corner of Yu Ning’s eye. “Mm. On purpose.” Waiting for a certain someone to come in. Yu Ning: “I knew it…” Wait, how do you know what I just said to the System?!! Only later did Yu Ning find out that even if he hadn’t chosen a side in his previous life, he probably could have spent his days lying around. Well… in bed. ++A slow-to-catch-on, refined beauty as the bottom; the System itself is the scheming top ++The top has been pining for the beauty for years ++There was a misunderstanding in their previous life Theme: Treat the people around you with care
