In order to avoid family pressure to get married, Lin Xiao signed a three-year physical marriage agreement with Bai Chen, a gentle and handsome zoo keeper. She thought she would live an ideal life of not disturbing each other and dealing with her family peacefully, until she discovered that the cat at home would enlighten her about her emotional problems late at night, the potted plant spirit on the balcony was keen on telling her bedtime stories, and the kind old lady opposite who always came to borrow things was actually a thousand-year-old fox fairy. What made her world view collapse even more was that her husband, whom she thought was just an ordinary person who could only take care of animals, walked slowly towards her on a moonlit night among the demons, and whispered to her with a smile in his eyes: "Let's get to know each other again, I am Bai Chen. Of course, you can also call me... The Lord of all demons." When the formal marriage agreement met the demon code, her married life was destined to be anything but ordinary.
In late autumn in Shanghai, sycamore leaves fell all over the ground.
Lin Xiao stood at the door of the internet celebrity cafe near Jing'an Temple and took a deep breath. The glass door reflected her outfit today: an off-white sweater with a light brown skirt, her hair carefully pulled into a low ponytail, and light makeup on her face - the standard "for a blind date" look.
"Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao, can't you be tougher?" She muttered to herself in the glass door.
My phone vibrated, and my mother, Ms. Chen, sent a voice message on WeChat. I clicked on it and started firing: "Are you here? Your Aunt Zhang chose her from thousands of people. She is a serious worker and has a gentle personality. I saw the photos and she looks decent! You are already twenty-eight, don't be picky..."
Lin Xiao turned her cell phone to silent and pushed open the door of the cafe.
