Transmigrate as a doomed side character. Bind to a "Survival System" that says: collect emotional points from others, or die.
That's the setup of "Teasing to Survive: The Grumpy CEO is Addicted" — and the system's chosen target is the worst possible person: an explosive CEO with a rare emotional disorder who terrifies everyone around him.
So she does what any survival MC would do. Becomes his assistant. Starts shamelessly flirting with the grumpy boss every single day. Farms emotional points like her life depends on it — because it literally does.
Why this works so well in short anime form:
✦ Grumpy x sunshine dynamic, but the sunshine is strategic — every tease is a calculated survival move ✦ Forced proximity (assistant + boss) + contract-adjacent tension, the Tumblr catnip tropes ✦ The CEO's "rare emotional disorder" means his slow emotional response is plot-justified, not lazy writing ✦ Every episode delivers either a tease, a crack in his cold exterior, or a survival system reward — no filler
If you're into contract marriage energy, grumpy CEO romance, transmigration with stakes, and a female lead who weaponizes flirting to survive, this one's a binge.
