"She decided to become her own savior."
[Urban Romance] [Women's Growth] [People-Pleasing] [Self-Rescue and Redemption] She was once born to be prey, accustomed to burning herself up to meet other people's expectations until they had wrung every last bit of worth from her.
The thing Zhou Chang was best at in life was saying, "Okay."
Until her health report read "severe alcoholic liver disease," and the doctor pronounced coldly, "If you keep drinking, not even the gods can save you."
She began learning to say, "No."
No to that drink. No to that contract. No to that favor.
Yet she discovered, of all things...
The more easily she said "no,"
the more there was one person she wanted to say "yes" to.
In this adventure of self-redemption,
is she the hunter or the prey?
Is the person who makes her want to say "yes" again her salvation, or the beginning of another hunt?
