Can You Make a Sustainable Living by Living Off Someone Else?

[Miserly gold-digger woman vs. generous kept man] [Pretend feelings turn real] [Broken up, then back together]

[At night, I’m always plotting to kill the nemesis blocking my path to fortune. What does that have to do with the man I’m dating during the day?]

[The true king of living off others relies on his wife when he’s young, then his son when he’s old.]

[What’s wrong with me taking the Zenin clan head’s seat for a while on my son’s behalf?]

“I’m a divorced single mother working in an office, with two kids. I make over ten million a month, but I’m only interested in two kinds of men: ones who can give me money, and ones who can help raise my kids.”

I said this shameless lie to the man I’d been introduced to at an upscale French restaurant. Then I heard a faint snicker from somewhere behind me.

I turned around. The laugh had come from a man so full of vitality he could carry three of my prospective dates on his shoulders.

His eyes met mine. He mouthed each word slowly, straight at me:

Why

not

give

me

a

try?

A custom-made suit for two million yen, an off-the-rack shirt for 180,000 yen, Oxford shoes for 230,000 yen.

So the next moment, I sent home the date that Kong Shiyu had arranged for me.

They were right, after all. The best catches never make it onto the market.

I like a man who takes the initiative.

That’s what makes him a “big fish,” isn’t it?

Tch. I miscalculated.

The only time Chiaki ever put herself out there ended up making her a recluse for life.

Without looking back, she left the divorce papers behind and fled the place she had once considered home, hoping she could pretend none of it had ever happened.

Even though she had already left her heart with him.

Here’s an exchange recorded in Tsumiki’s diary:

“Tell Aki if I’m not back in three days, I’ll kill someone.”

“Mom, Toji said he misses you.”

“Megumi, tell your dad that a little puppy who smothers his own son with a pillow isn’t a real man.”

[Before you read]

· The main story is told in third person, and centers on Jujutsu Kaisen. It will also include some other works, but they won’t affect your reading.

· One-on-one happy ending. They get back together after breaking up, told in chronological order with flashbacks. We’re starting from scratch to make the mirror.

· The female lead is neither a strong woman nor a great heroine. The overall tone is chaotic evil. The author’s mental state is only slightly better than Fujimoto’s. References and dark humor will multiply throughout the story like threads in fabric.

· Contains many personal interpretations, including but not limited to the female lead being Megumi’s mother, and changes to the original plot and character relationships.

· The later story will follow an alternate timeline where Toji becomes head of the Zenin clan.

· The author’s track record is like that of the previous novel. You don’t need to have read it, since I’ll post a hiatus notice in advance if updates stop.
