The early chapters and extras are mostly the author indulging themselves.
One heroine: Sparkle.
A young woman has just been invited to join the tavern. The moment she steps inside, a group of revelers gang up on her and tease her, but Su Heng, an “Emanator,” steps in to help.
“Why are you helping me?” the black-haired girl asks innocently.
“Take a guess~” Su Heng replies.
“Whatever your reason, thank you,” the black-haired girl says sincerely.
Innocence is a very useful thing to spend, especially since it can never be replenished.
When they meet again, a bratty girl looks at him and teases Su Heng.
“Innocence really is a useful thing to spend, isn’t it~” the black-haired girl says, leaning close to Su Heng’s ear.
What a novel subject!
