I Collected My Pay and Left, and Everyone Went Completely Off the Rails

“Your wages have been paid. Our contract ends here.”

For three years, Xu Tingxian worked off his father's debts, willingly serving as the perfect tool for three wealthy heiresses and an aloof movie queen.

He was an all-purpose assistant who came and went at their beck and call, their personal emotional dumping ground, and an anonymous, god-tier shadow composer.

The day his debts were cleared, Xu Tingxian deleted every contact and left without looking back.

After awakening a System, he opened a peaceful little courtyard on an old street called “Homeward.”

He grew flowers and herbs, cooked delicious meals, and occasionally petted stray cats. Life was peaceful and comfortable.

The chess game he'd casually commented on left a business magnate in awe.

Even the beautiful neighbor who came by every day for free tea was actually the true heiress of a trillion-yuan family who had run away from home.

Xu Tingxian simply took a leisurely sip of tea and gave a soft laugh.

“Sorry, I'm very comfortable with my life now. I don't take clients anymore.”
