My name is Pi Shu Qian, and I’m a pixiu through and through.
My father is a legend in the pixiu world, famous for never parting with a single coin. I’m the gold-swallowing cub he picked up.
The family restaurant was handed down to me with just one rule:
Money comes in, but never goes out. No softhearted exceptions. Everyone pays up in good fortune.
All I wanted was to quietly run my own miserly little business,
until one night, a ridiculously handsome man walked through the door.
“I have no silver, no good fortune, only a useful skill.”
I ran the numbers: a free chef? What a steal!
So I waved him in. “You’re staying to work off your debt!”
Only later did I realize:
this man hadn’t come here to work.
He’d come to “take” me, heart and soul.
House rule: no credit.
But somehow, I seem to have given him a lifetime on credit.
Nice!!!!!!
