The day before meeting her online boyfriend in person, Yu Sheng was called back to her hometown by her mother.
Her grandfather had died, and the villagers were making a big show of arranging the funeral.
But she never expected the banquet to be serving platter after platter of plump insects.

Even her online boyfriend, whom she'd already broken up with, kept pacing outside her door every day.
“Shengsheng, open the door! I can see you!”
