Chapter 1: Monthly salary of 100,000, but working like a madman
The incense at Yonghe Temple was so strong that it was almost choking.
Yun Yang knelt devoutly on the prayer mat, her hands clasped together, and she murmured, "My name is Yun Yang, my ID number is 110××××××. I desperately hope to find a high-paying job today, one with no overtime, where the boss doesn't make empty promises and doesn't accept job transfers!"
After finishing her prayers, she stood up, satisfied.
The next second, everything went black.
When I opened my eyes again, I was no longer by the red walls and yellow tiles inside the Second Ring Road.
The dazzling crystal chandelier made her dizzy.
A cool, pine scent lingered around my nose, mixed with the smell of disinfectant.
She was sitting on an overly soft leather sofa.
Across from her, a blond, blue-eyed man in a black suit was looking at her with the eyes of someone scrutinizing merchandise.
The man's name was Guchiro, and he claimed to be the steward of the place.
His face looked as if it had been drawn with a ruler, every line exuding a rigid, unapproachable aura.
“This is a confidentiality agreement.” Gukiro pushed a document in front of her, speaking fluent Chinese.
"Sign it, and you'll be a full-time employee of Xiaoyuan, with a six-figure monthly salary and bonuses on top of that."
Look at the numbers above.
Yunyang's heart skipped a beat.
Wow, a 1 followed by five zeros!
Yonghe Palace even offers a "second delivery" service! Did they just send her all the way to Chengdu?
Swish swish——
The two large characters 'Yun Yang' leap off the page.
As her gaze swept over the line of small print above, Yun Yang's pupils suddenly contracted.
[The primary work location of Party B (the employee) is Xiaoyuan. If Party B leaves Xiaoyuan without authorization during the agreed service period (ten years), it will be considered a breach of contract, and Party A has the right to arbitrarily execute Party B.]
Yun Yang's mind went blank for a moment.
It's not that there were no slaves after the founding of the country; this contract was very harsh.
At the same time, a memory that didn't originally belong to her surfaced.
This is the Owl Garden in Country S.
With an extremely high mortality rate, being a servant in Owl Garden is considered one of the most dangerous professions.
Because even a small mistake could lead to something disappearing.
But because the pay is so high, people keep trying to get in.
When the original owner came to Xiaoyuan for an interview, he saw a large group of bodyguards cleaning up the mole as soon as he entered the gate.
There was a series of loud bangs, like fireworks during Chinese New Year.
More than a dozen maids lost their lives.
The original owner sat there, watching Jujiro slowly wipe the blood from his hands, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
His eyes rolled back, and he died.
Yun Yang was then dragged over by the system.
System: [Don't worry, you're not the female lead, just an NPC. Once you complete the storyline, you can take the money and be set free.]
Yunyang: [Huh? I don't...]
System: [I have other big projects to complete, bye!]
Yunyang: !
Money can be taken with you, but what about life?
This system is utter garbage; it's even more perfunctory than some HR departments.
What about the plot? Don't the lowest-ranking employees deserve to know about the company's development plans?
Guguiro made a move to rescind the contract.
Yun Yang stared at the dried bloodstains on his hand, clutching the stack of papers tightly, refusing to let go.
“Um, I…” her voice trembled, “I have something I’ve been hiding from the company, and I feel really bad about not telling you.”
Giulio didn't speak, he just stared at her intently.
Yun Yang made up her mind: "I'm pregnant, and I'll have to take maternity leave in a few months. That will cause the company a huge loss, so I'll take my leave. You don't need to see me off."
After saying that, he lifted his buttocks and was about to run away.
As if reading her mind, Giulio added expressionlessly, "Your predecessor lied and lost his tongue; the one before that tried to escape and lost his legs." He paused, his voice completely flat, "What don't you want anymore?"
A soft click sounded.
Yun Yang stopped in her tracks and turned around to face a dark gun barrel.
She suddenly dropped to the ground, grabbed her sleeves, and frantically scrubbed the floor with her clothes.
Lifting her pale face, she forced a smile: "Mr. Kei, I can do anything. I will work hard. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it. Even if it means bleeding and sweating, I will persevere!"
Gukiro: "..."
He stood up and gestured for Yunyang to follow.
“Our master, Mr. Fu, hates sound the most after losing his voice. So, you'd better stay mute.”
Walking down the seemingly endless corridor, Yunyang's mind was a complete mess.
Yonghe Temple truly possesses a kind of efficacy that disregards the life or death of its believers.
She asked her boss not to make empty promises, and now he's completely speechless.
Giulio led her to a huge, carved wooden door and pushed it open.
The main hall has an incredibly high dome, and outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is the deep darkness of night.
In the very center, a man sits in a wheelchair with his back to the door.
Hearing the noise, the wheelchair slowly turned around.
Yun Yang's breath caught in her throat for a moment.
The man was young, handsome, and extremely aggressive, with a high nose bridge and a sharp jawline.
However, a hideous scar running from his left brow bone to his cheekbone marred this perfection, making him look sinister and violent.
His gaze swept over us like two poisoned knives, making it impossible to look directly at him.
Yunyang gripped the hem of her clothes tightly and lowered her head.
Fu Xiaoting seemed very impatient, his brows furrowed slightly, and he casually picked up a glass from the table and smashed it towards Yun Yang.
"Smack!"
The cup shattered at her feet, shards of glass scattering everywhere.
Yun Yang was so frightened that her whole body stiffened.
Giulio, who was standing nearby, immediately shouted angrily, "The master is not satisfied with you! Do you want to die?"
Yun Yang's mind went completely blank for a moment.
What am I dissatisfied with about her?
What did she do? She didn't do anything!
When you step in, which foot should you use first? Is it the left foot or the right foot that you can't step in first?
Oh no, am I going to die right after transmigrating here? If I die, can I go home, or will my account be deleted?
Just when she was about to give up in despair, a clear and energetic commentary exploded in her mind without warning:
[Damn! My hand slipped! Why is that woman shaking like that? She scared herself!]

1. Yunyang is not a pushover; she has brains.
If you're facing a survival crisis early on and want to read a story with a strong female lead, here's a rocket for you—whoosh—swipe away.
The female protagonist in this story is a nanny. Please allow me to go through a growth process. After all, those of you who have worked can empathize with her. Who can dominate the workplace as soon as they start working?
2. Fu Xiaoting takes advantage of the fact that others can't hear him, so he speaks his mind freely and abstractly, disregarding the lives of others. He is not someone who hasn't been weaned.
3. It's not love at first sight; the male and female leads gradually get to know each other, and the endless kissing happens after chapter 70.
If you're looking for a story about a woman training a dog or a powerful man bowing down to love, scroll past.
Leave a comment if you want to see the female lead feeding the dog (the male lead).
