The Male Lead Has Set His Sights on Me 1

Wednesday Morning.

“Secretary Chi, Young Master Bai from the Bai family is here. He’s asking to see President Zhou, but he doesn’t have an appointment. What should we do…?”

Chi Zhan was deep in the day’s schedule—it was a particularly busy morning. A Bluetooth earpiece nestled in his left ear, he quickly scrolled through the memo tab. One page was labeled Player Preferences.

“Have Young Master Bai wait in the lounge for a moment,” Chi Zhan said calmly. “Take out the gift box on the third shelf, second from the left—the one with the pink ribbon. Tell him it’s from President Zhou.”

The receptionist set down the phone and turned to the young man scanning the lobby. With a gentle smile, she said, “President Zhou is currently tied up, but he’s prepared a gift for you. Please come with me.”

When Chi Zhan knocked and stepped into the office, Zhou Yanxing was standing by the window, still on the phone. His figure was impeccable—even in a subtly luxurious black dress shirt, those broad shoulders, narrow waist, and endlessly long legs were impossible to ignore.

Chi Zhan stood at 179 centimeters, tall by most standards. Yet every time he faced Zhou Yanxing, he couldn’t help but feel a distinct pressure—an inescapable sense of being overshadowed.

Zhou Yanxing was a full head taller than him.

The reflection on the window caught Chi Zhan’s figure. Zhou Yanxing glanced his way from the corner of his eye and gave a casual wave without turning around.

Chi Zhan understood instantly.

—He wasn’t taking the meeting.

Still refusing to see him.

Zhou Rui Tower stood in the heart of City A’s most prosperous district, its reach spanning numerous industries. The main building rose fifty stories high. From the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see an expanse of sky and city that even five-star hotels couldn’t rival—an uninterrupted vista of clouds and cosmopolitan brilliance. A testament to unimaginable wealth.

And the man behind it all, Zhou Yanxing—sharp-eyed, decisive, never once caught in a misstep. At just twenty-six, he held dual master’s degrees from Ivy League schools. In a mere three years, he’d built himself into an unshakable figure—young, formidable, and already a rising titan of the business world.

To the outside world, Zhou Yanxing was the picture of intellect and authority: swift, ruthless, and irresistibly charismatic.

But Chi Zhan knew it wasn’t quite so simple…

President Zhou, truth be told—had a few minor flaws.

Of course, that was just the opinion of a subordinate. Nothing definitive.

Zhou Yanxing ended the call and glanced over at Chi Zhan, who hadn’t left yet. “Is there something else?”

Chi Zhan replied, “This is the fifth time Young Master Bai has come to see you. Still not taking the meeting?”

As he spoke, his gaze discreetly assessed Zhou Yanxing.

The president seemed unusually irritable today. That morning, he’d already asked for two cups of unsweetened black coffee. Even his voice carried a faint edge of impatience—like the heavy, electric air before a storm.

Chi Zhan had turned it over in his mind but couldn’t think of anything that might’ve triggered Zhou Yanxing’s foul mood.

He hadn’t been on the job long enough to read the man’s microexpressions with any real accuracy.

Status: Ongoing Author: Native Language: Chinese
Chi Zhan is a dutiful secretary NPC in a romance simulation game. Every day, he performs his tasks with robotic precision—scheduling meetings, serving coffee, and acting as a helpful side character while players flirt with his aloof CEO boss. Once the day’s events wrap up, he’s free to laze around like a salted fish. But one day, the system suddenly flags him down: there’s a critical bug in the game. There are four romanceable male leads in this world:
  • The cold and domineering CEO, 
  • The gentle and refined doctor, 
  • The rebellious and charming bad boy, 
  • The emotionally detached e-sports god. 
Coincidentally, Chi Zhan happens to be entangled with all four. The system's diagnosis? Their affection for Chi Zhan has exceeded the "friends-only" threshold. The fastest way to fix the bug? Make Chi Zhan a married man. Chi Zhan, calm and professional, raised an eyebrow. “Wait. Are you sure there’s no mistake in the readings?” The system was adamant. “No mistake. Just do it!” As a responsible NPC, Chi Zhan had no choice but to start subtly hinting at a fictional relationship. To the doctor: “My boyfriend’s been competing recently. He’s about to win the championship.” To the bad boy: “My partner works at the hospital too. Want to meet him sometime?” To the e-sports god: “Yeah, you’re impressive—but my hubby just started his own company.” To the CEO: “I prefer younger guys. The one living with me is just right.” Chi Zhan assumed this would be enough to make them back off. He couldn’t have been more wrong. They. All. Snapped. The doctor removed his gold-rimmed glasses, voice gentle but threatening: “Say it again—who do you love?” The bad boy shoved Chi Zhan onto the bed, eyes wild: “Gege, don’t regret this.” The e-sports god smiled, lips brushing his ear in a lover’s whisper: “Your… hubby?” The CEO cornered him against the wall, lifting his chin: “Secretary Chi, break up with him.” Chi Zhan panicked. Worse yet, to keep his lies straight, he had to invent four separate boyfriends. What he didn’t expect… was that these romance targets—who once disdained the idea of fighting over someone—would all go completely unhinged. So… is it too late to admit he’s single?
