The Designated Errand Boy of Capital’s Heirs

Office worker Chen Zemian transmigrates into a male-power fantasy novel, becoming the loyal lackey by protagonist Lu Zhuonian’s side. Lu Zhuonian, a scion of a prestigious Beijing family, handsome beyond compare, stands out even among the elite young masters, the center of their universe. In order to curry favor with Lu Zhuonian, the lackey gives up dignity and bottom lines, working diligently and being at his beck and call. Yet Lu Zhuonian’s friends treat him as nothing more than a dog. The young masters boss him around, mock him, ridicule him, and humiliate him. As a tired corporate drone, Chen Zemian finds his fists clenching in anger. ‘Only I’m not having fun in this power fantasy?! How is that fair!!!’ ‘If no one helps me achieve greatness, I’ll climb to the summit myself, stepping through snow and hardship.’ ‘It’s time these young masters witnessed the true power of an evil corporate worker.’ * But what Chen Zemian didn’t expect was that the so-called “ordering around and humiliation” turned out to be— Young Master A goes out, ignores his chauffeur, and insists Chen Zemian pick him up. Chen Zemian rushes over in a hurry, only for A to toss him the keys to a luxury car with a sneer: “Even dogs wouldn’t ride that junker you drive. This Maserati suits you better. Take it.” Young Master B goes house hunting, ignores his agent, and insists Chen Zemian come along. Chen Zemian barely touches the rosewood furniture in a mansion before B tosses him a property contract: “Bought you a place too. Get some exposure to the world, and maybe you won’t think rosewood is so expensive anymore.” Young Master C starts investing, ignores his advisors, and insists Chen Zemian handle it. As Chen Zemian stares blankly at the stocks, C shoves him a bank card, scowling: “Here’s ten million to practice with. Profits are yours, losses are on me.” … ‘This… is what they call humiliation?’ ‘Actually… it feels kinda great.’ Corroded by money, Chen Zemian loses all his drive and resistance.

He cornered Chen Zemian against the wall, eyes dark and intense: “Everything they did to you… they did under my orders. Don’t you have anything you want to say to me?” Chen Zemian’s lashes trembled slightly. He looked up at Lu Zhuonian for a moment, then quickly lowered his gaze, embarrassed: “Co-could you… humiliate me a little more?” _ Later, pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window, Chen Zemian bitterly regretted spouting nonsense for money. Lu Zhuonian gripped his neck, forcing him to meet his reflection in the mirror, his breath hot and ragged, voice low and hoarse: “Mianmian, do you like being humiliated like this?” Reading Notes 【1】The gong is mentally unstable—the kind that can’t even be mentioned in a blurb. 【2】Both characters are clean (mutually exclusive). 【3】The gong is a deep, obsessive lover born into immense wealth. 【4】The shou’s name was inspired by: “Under the moon, before the breeze, free and easy; sing when inspired, sleep when weary.” Given the poetic sense, he’s surprisingly open-minded? 【5】The “puppy” Friend D wanted to gift really was a literal puppy. But the gong misunderstood, panicked, and—well, you can imagine.
