Tang Hua never expected to be outmaneuvered by her boss.
At this moment, she was lost in a sweet dream, her sleep deep and peaceful.
After all, her biological clock was completely reversed, so for her, the day was night.
Setting her alarm for 11:30 on a Sunday morning, intending to force herself to wake up, was already the utmost respect she could show her boss, draining her life force in the process.
You should know, if someone is willing to adjust their biological clock for you, enduring the physiological pain of day and night reversal, just to see you and be with you—
Then this kind of care can already be called "love."
Unfortunately.
Plans can't keep up with changes.
Lu Qing's cunning schemes had shattered all of Tang Hua's preparations.
Time flew by and it was already 11 o'clock.
Dong dong dong, dong dong dong.
A gentle knocking sound came from the door.
"Huh..."
Tang Hua slept soundly, her sleeping position like a shrimp.
Dong dong, dong dong dong dong.
"Huh...?"
She rolled over, seemingly unaware.
Dong, dong, dong!!
The knocking grew more impatient.
"Huh... Hmm...?"
She frowned slightly, her consciousness returning.
Dong, dong, Duang!
"Lubia, is this your place? Are you in there?"
"Huh? Huh?? Huh????"
"Lubia? Wake up, Lubia."
"Hmmmmmmmm?!?!?! Ahhhhhh?!!"
"The sun's up, it's time."
Wait, what??
"Eeek!!!"
Hearing such commotion, the beauty on the bed suddenly sprang up, as if seeing something terrifying, frozen in place.
She looked blankly towards the door, which was secured with five locks.
Wait.
Wait wait.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Am I awake or asleep?
What day is it today?
Who's at the door??
It sounds like the boss's voice??
It must be a dream.
Definitely a dream, right??
Tang Hua shivered all over, very confused and bewildered.
At a loss, she decided to test whether the voice she just heard was an illusion,
So, she opened her mouth and responded to the door: "Who... who is it?!"
Although, the only person who could call out her ID was probably the boss, but there was a slight possibility it was the "boss in her dream."
At the brink of disaster, she still clung to a sense of lucky chance.
“Huh? A female voice? Oh, I'm sorry, I might have knocked on the wrong door. I came to find my partner, he's a 38-year-old guy named Lubia, and now I think I misheard, sincerely sorry for disturbing your sleep, really sorry, goodbye.”
Lu Qing used the skill—「Polite Triple」, and after saying that, he pretended to turn and leave.
"Wok, no no no no no—! Don't go!! Ahhhhhhhhhh... Boss, boss...!"
Tang Hua frantically jumped out of bed, her mind almost crashing.
She saw her navigating the complicated terrain under the bed, her snow-white legs knocking over trash as she rushed straight to the door, clattering to unlock various chains.
"Boss, wait! It's me, it's me, I'm Lubia! You... you didn't find the wrong place!"
She flushed with embarrassment, urgently yet very softly expressing her thoughts.
Thinking,
After all, it's just a dream,
Why not act boldly and do whatever I want in the dream.
So she opened the inner door,
Her slender hand on the slider of the outer door's iron lock.
All that was needed was a slight effort, and she could see her boss's body outside the door.
"Wait."
At this moment, she suddenly realized, "This isn't right."
Something's not right.
In her subconscious, something was reminding her that the current situation was a bit abnormal.
She turned her head to look at the electronic nightlight clock on the table and was shocked to see,
The date written on it was Saturday.
「11:03:59, Saturday」.
What's going on?
The tightly closed curtains made the room pitch black, like a dark prison.
Tang Hua was mentally dazed, but she could still react that even in her dream, the time she had agreed to meet her boss wasn't supposed to be "Sunday," was it?
Why doesn't it match?
Moreover,
When she accidentally stepped on the edge of the box outside earlier, her toes were quite painful.
Maybe they were scratched with red blood streaks.
"This kind of real pain and sensitivity, it doesn't feel like a dream at all..."
What's going on?
"......"
Tang Hua was confused.
What if.
I mean, what if.
The boss got the time wrong and really came a day early...
What if the person behind this door is his real self.
【Then I haven't washed my hair, haven't washed my face, haven't bathed, haven't tidied up those photos, haven't sprayed perfume, haven't applied moisturizer, and I'm even wearing pajamas, half-exposed at the chest.】
Such a me, standing in the trash pile.
Isn't that,
Like a self-destructing truck?
A huge disaster?
"Eeek... Boss, you... you really outside? Are you Lu Qing?"
She helplessly pouted her face, her innocent and charming appearance showing the naive and pitiful expression of a child who felt abandoned.
"It's me, I'm Lu Qing, no mistake. Lubia, are you a girl? Or a guy? If you're a guy, I won't come in, we can just chat online. Well, even if you're a pervert, I still quite recognize your abilities."
Lu Qing held back his laughter, standing seriously outside the door, saying these inhumane words.
At this moment, he was carrying a backpack, wearing the standard uniform of a senior male college student.
His bag contained a tablet computer and notebook, with all the project-related materials ready, wanting to have a serious talk with his illustrator.
Of course, besides that,「a small punishment」would also arrive as promised.
——Like the hidden, just specially bought earlier from the 「Maidolia」 high-end store at the City Plaza, a set of 【Demonic Quality Black Glamorous Cosplay Costume (with horns)】.
Thinking:
Since the character you designed is a G-CUP Framboise Succubus, then giving you a set of Succubus cosplay costumes to study in front of the mirror shouldn't be a mistake, right?
This is the boss's reward, dare you not accept it?
Hmph.
Lu Qing was ten out of ten confident.
This was the「punishment」for Lubia deceiving him.
Although it cost 7800 to buy the maid outfit for his sister, this time the Cosplay outfit for Tang Hua only cost 1800. But it's fine; the gift may be light, but the affection is deep.
Consider it a reward for doing a good job.
...
Inside the door.
Tang Hua had already sensed the seriousness of the problem.
The dream seemed not to be a dream.
The time, it seemed, wasn't Sunday.
Now, if she didn't open the door, it would be a bit impolite.
The boss had already waited for more than forty seconds.
She had also exposed her female voice.
There's no saving it.
...Face the storm.
Tang Hua decided to break the pot and smash it.
She slowly pulled the last slider.
Imagining a bed end, an idea came to her.
"Got it."
If the boss dislikes me later and intends to flee... I'll grab him without him noticing, pull him into the house, lock the door, and not let him go home smoothly.
Mmm, as expected of me.
A life that's despised by the boss shouldn't exist, nor is it worthy of existence.
Anyway, it's all going to end, enjoy it before leaving, what's wrong with that?
Since it's like this, committing some "evil deeds" to the boss, it's also the biggest bad thing I can do in my life, right?
Hehe, boss... hehehe...
Tang Hua unlocked the door,
Her palm gently resting on the door:
Of course, there's also a small possibility. If the boss doesn't dislike me, then I... I can take it as, he likes me.
If he likes me, then it must be confirmed that I'm in a dream.
Then in the dream, doing things that people who like each other would do, it should be fine, right.
【In dreams, you can do whatever you want, in dreams, you can be reckless, even without considering the consequences.】
"So, so let's do it like this, no matter what the boss thinks, today, he won't be able to leave this house."
With this thought.
Tang Hua gathered her courage, embracing a decisive spirit like that of a succubus.
With one push, she opened the door.
...

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy! It could split open the heavens and earth, create all things, and evolve countless worlds with a single thought! Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”

The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...

The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant.
