Chi Yan is a famously lazy, perpetually late comic artist. His series, The Domineering CEO Loves Me to the Bone, has been on hiatus for 135 days, but his computer holds two terabytes of indescribable character art.
The most outrageous image of all is the stunning outfit he designed for the male lead: a lace dress and a bow.
Who would have thought that one day he would transmigrate into a book, become the male lead's personal secretary, and get bound to a System?
System: "The author has severely derailed the domineering CEO's character by drawing mosaic-covered images of him in dresses. This has triggered the Interdimensional Traffic Law. The author must help the protagonist stay in character, or face punishment in the form of losing life points!"
Chi Yan doesn't take it seriously, but the punishments always come out of nowhere, and they're compulsory.
On his way to work in the morning, Chi Yan buys some stinky tofu.
System warning: Since the domineering CEO used the skill 'It's daylight, time to make the Wang Group go bankrupt' to acquire the stinky tofu stall, the author must complete the failure penalty: put on hot-pink bell-bottoms and lead a square-dancing team.
Chi Yan: ?
At noon, Chi Yan pays two yuan to take the bus home.
System warning: Since the domineering CEO personally arranged monthly bus passes for his employees, the author must complete the failure penalty: wear a little dress and lull the ants beneath the CEO's tree to sleep.
Chi Yan: ??
In the evening, Chi Yan gets online to slack off and work on comic sketches.
System warning: The domineering CEO is looking at fan art of an obscure author on the seafood marketplace. Author, complete the penalty: tomorrow morning, wear a leather miniskirt to the CEO's house and sing "Drunken Butterfly" to wake him up.
Chi Yan: ???? Who are you calling an obscure author?
Wait, why are all the punishments about wearing little dresses? Why do the styles look so familiar? And why does he have to keep wearing little dresses for the male lead?
Zhou Zhe, the ruthless, cold-faced CEO in the comic, awakens and discovers that the author has given him a panda-face meme as his unattainable beloved.
And because the author often goes on hiatus or makes things up on a whim, Zhou Zhe is constantly acting out of character and making a fool of himself, so the book has little popularity among fans.
When he learns that the author has come to his world, Zhou Zhe presses his lips together and smiles. He buys a whole roomful of little dresses, determined to teach the author not to do unto others what he wouldn't want done to himself.
System: The author refuses the punishment, explaining that the rose petals in the bathtub are needed for the comic's panels, and provides a literary analysis of 36 figure-drawing poses.
Zhou Zhe nods, finds a lace tutu, and heads out the door with it.
Zhou Zhe (seme) x Chi Yan (uke)
*The author takes many creative liberties. Please don't draw parallels with real life.
*The plot makes no sense and exists entirely to serve up sugary fluff. Please read without thinking too hard.
Content warning: 1. The uke wears different styles of little dresses. If cross-dressing bothers you, please bear with us.
2. The seme is slow to awaken to his own thoughts and is very slow to warm up romantically.
Thump! I beg you on my knees to add this to your collection. Thank you, everyone.
