Ning Zhuochuan is a classic 996 corporate grunt—working long hours with dedication. His biggest dream is to one day, through his own efforts, become a CEO and live a life where he works for no one but himself.

However, that dream comes true far too suddenly. One night, while returning home late from work, Ning Zhuochuan is hit by a passing truck and unexpectedly transmigrates into a web novel about a domineering CEO who bravely chases after love. Even stranger, he becomes a character who shares his name—and is indeed a real CEO.

Villas, luxury cars, designer watches, wealth, status, reputation—Ning Zhuochuan now has it all. The only thing he’s not too thrilled about? The original character of this world is a total love-struck fool. And now, Ning Zhuochuan has to follow the plotline: pursue Cheng Xi, get rejected 99 times by the end of the story, and only then will he be able to keep his company and return to his business-focused, CEO dream life.

Determined to get back to work and build his empire ASAP, Ning Zhuochuan straightens his priorities and decides to follow the romance plot with full effort—starting with chasing after Cheng Xi.

On this day, dressed in a six-figure custom suit and driving a newly purchased limited-edition sports car, Ning Zhuochuan heads to the designated plot location to begin the mission.

That is, until he sees the person he’s supposed to pursue: 185cm tall, athletic and toned, holding a basketball in one hand and drinking from a water bottle in the other—a sunny, sporty, handsome younger college guy.

Nearly 30, Ning Zhuochuan freezes mid-motion while taking off his sunglasses: Going after such a fresh-faced, masculine cub… feels kinda like a beast…

But in order to be dumped and return to his proper CEO life, Ning Zhuochuan decides to “beast it up” and press on with the pursuit!

Except… the more he chases, the more Cheng Xi’s reactions start to feel not so serious?
