In everyone's eyes, Lin Jianqing is the most obedient little bird Cheng Rang keeps at Moon Bay. Cheng Rang beckons, and she comes over with a bright smile, kissing his chin and saying, "I missed you."
Of course, Cheng Rang has no idea that every time they sleep together, Lin Jianqing counts down, knowing that the debt will be paid off one time sooner, until the day she can leave for good.
"Thank you for the compensation you've given me over the past two years. It's been a pleasure working with you."
Cheng Rang can't believe the girl who was clinging to him last night and telling him she loved him is leaving. He suppresses his anger with a cold stare. "Lin Jianqing, you'd better pray you never show up in front of me again."

Lin Jianqing's graduate studies in the south go exceptionally well, so well that she starts looking forward to a wonderful life.
Until one night, when a colleague is walking her home, a tall man reeking of alcohol pins her in the elevator. He lowers his head, his lips brushing the corner of hers. "Lin Jianqing, I let you go. That doesn't mean you can go off with another man."

Later, she learns that the great apartment she rented for a bargain, the top-tier projects she got to work on, her position at a top law firm, and her mentorship by a leading figure in the field were all arranged by him. He even moved in next door.
Lin Jianqing angrily shoves him away. His eyes red, he searches her gaze and murmurs, "Qingqing, I just love you too much."
She was never the first one to lose control.
Generally speaking, the pace is very fast. Unlike other novels of the same type, which take half a day and half a year to reach the climax, there are just a lot of typos and the protagonist's name is always misread.
It's so beautiful, I can't get enough 😢
