Tan Yuan is a money-lover. Every year, his wish is to retire as soon as he finishes next year's work.
He's run off his feet in one small world after another. One moment, he's playing a lovesick, devoted admirer; the next, he's seamlessly switched into the role of a humble substitute. His performances are flawless, his transitions smooth, his mindset sound, and his wallet even sounder.
Then one time, while in the bed of the male lead, he called out the name of the protagonist from the previous world. Things got strange after that.
The mission world began to collapse, and all kinds of plot bugs kept appearing. Worse still, the male lead's memories hadn't been altered. Tan Yuan's cover was blown!
[The Corporate Drone in a Wealthy Family Romance]
On the surface, Tan Yuan is an utterly forgettable employee at the male lead's company. In secret, he's perfectly willing to be his nameless, unofficial substitute lover.
The suite in the CEO's office is filled with outfits tailored to fit him: an innocent school uniform, a red slip dress for a forbidden stepmother look, and a frilly dress for a fallen young master look.
Whenever the male lead's love interest takes on a new role, a matching battle outfit appears in Tan Yuan's wardrobe. The male lead takes out his frustration over the love he can't have on his substitute, leaving Tan Yuan too exhausted to function at work every day.
Kisses land all over his back, and the room fills with sounds that make his face burn. Struggling, Tan Yuan opens his phone to check the time and immediately tries to pull away.
The male lead pins him down, displeased, his breathing unsteady. "Tsk... Why are you moving around?"
"I'm going to miss the bus, ha..."
Taxis in this world are damn expensive, and Tan Yuan can't bring himself to pay for one.
The male lead smacks his butt. "Tomorrow, I'll have my secretary transfer that apartment in Gunan No. 1 to you. Stop moving around."
Tan Yuan obediently lies back down, then remembers something and helpfully reminds him, "Don't have Secretary Yang handle it, or the whole company will find out about us."
The male lead says nothing, only taking him even more forcefully.
Tan Yuan passes out without ever figuring out what he'd done to make him angry this time.
