If you came for the misunderstandings and overblown assumptions, you can start at Chapter Five.
Chu Mu, a miserable wage slave, had just completed his System's quota, faked his death, and retired. He was ready to spend his retirement pay and enjoy a happy, lie-flat life with the System, but a transmission error dumped him into another mission world.
It wasn't his assigned mission world, but the mission System still issued him a task.
Staring at the new task that had appeared in a task list that should have been locked, Chu Mu felt like crying.
"...System, I think we've got some seriously bad luck."
System 027 patted him on the shoulder in consolation. [It's okay, don't be sad. I've applied for double mission points for you, plus extra overtime pay.]
His life was already hard enough. He looked at the task in bold capital letters: Assist LW22097 in completing the mission. Then he looked at Li Wu, crouching on the ground like a stupid dog, and felt that his life was even harder!
"When I get back, I'm going to hang those bastards in Logistics who are responsible for transmissions in the headquarters lobby!"
To get back to his peaceful retirement, Chu Mu had no choice but to work while looking out for his juniors.
But what on earth are these locals thinking?
I'm really just doing my job. I don't have some hidden reason, okay?!
Also, could you put away the handcuffs before talking to me?
And most importantly, why has this world fused with my home world?

Gu Zheng always felt like he'd forgotten something, something important. It was as if he wanted to say something to someone, but whenever he tried to remember, his mind went blank.
Until he met a strange person.
He always showed up at crime scenes in a provocative manner, as if mocking them for their helplessness.
Gu Zheng had once been so enraged that he swore he'd personally send him to his death. But when the truth finally came to light, he realized just how terribly wrong he had been.
He'd ignored the other's desperate pleas for help time and again, and each time the man fell into the abyss, Gu Zheng had passed him by.
Eventually, he remembered everything. He had loved him more than life itself.
Looking at the man who had grown thinner by the day, he thought: So this is how hard things have been for him all these years without me.
Chu Mu, who'd lost weight because he'd been too busy to eat: Huh? You're talking about me? Is that really how you all see me?! (Shocked)

Both have lost their memories.
The author is putting all their personal preferences on display. This is a danmei story for a female audience. If you don't like that, please move along.
No identity reveals. I don't like awkward drama, and Mu Mu really is a big shot. It's just that people imagine the strangest things about him.
There's a bit of a fake beauty-strong-and-tragic vibe.
Please add it to your library and follow the author.
Moral: I think I'm perfectly fine, so why does everyone say I'm so miserable?
As I watched it, I felt like some plot points came a little suddenly?
