[Blurb]
Before she had even graduated from university, Jian Shuang was already burdened with debt.
While working part-time at a hotel, she came across a drunk woman. Her flushed cheek rested dizzily against Jian Shuang, and the woman, whose room key was tucked against her chest, begged Jian Shuang to take it out for her.
On the night of her twenty-second birthday, Jian Shuang slept with a woman.
She thought it would be a one-night fling, but one day, as Jian Shuang walked out of the campus gates, she found a white Bentley waiting outside.
Xu Shengran rolled down the window and lowered her sunglasses, casting a coquettish glance and smile.
"Come with me."
Jian Shuang, who knew nothing of the world, was forced to spend the night in the service of a woman whose name she didn't even know. When she woke the next morning, there was a business card beside her pillow.
A new contact had appeared on her phone, along with a transfer so large it made her eyes sting.
"If you develop feelings for me, we'll end things."
The doors and windows were shut tight. Pills lay scattered across the floor.
She said I was sick, and that I had to swallow every last one in the empty room.
There was mold on the ceiling and biscuits on the table.
I am a machine that can speak.
Listening to her unconventional confession, I wept for joy.
Don't save me. Don't hold me. Don't dream of me.
This is my hollow-heart syndrome.
