   She'd just found a new book; the protagonist was transported to the Republican era, a lowly undercover agent—a timid and cowardly one at that. The female lead was cowardly and greedy, but she was decisive when it came to serious matters and possessed a quick wit typical of modern people. "You and Xie Yunqi have a good relationship?" The interrogator suddenly asked. "Huh? It's alright," Shen Shuman thought for a moment, "The master is quite generous; he not only raised my salary but also doubled it. He's really rich." "Why would he give you his money? What's your relationship?" He pressed. "Just an employer-secretary relationship," Shen Shuman replied, confused. "Who would treat their secretary so well, paying her and even ordering custom-made clothes?" He sneered, as if he'd found a loophole in Shen Shuman's words. Shen Shuman suddenly realized, "You mean, he wants to sleep with me!" "Pfft," Xie Yunqi spat out a mouthful of tea, veins bulging, and explained to the astonished Matsumoto Tetsuya, "Colonel, please don't misunderstand, I had absolutely no such intention!"
