When Qin Zhou was twenty-three, she received a breakup message from her girlfriend, Meng Wu.
That same day, a woman dressed in expensive clothes walked into her corner shop.
The woman held a bottle of mineral water and asked bluntly, her eyes sharp, “You got dumped?”
Qin Zhou smiled sweetly while wondering if the woman had something wrong with her.

Qin Zhou looked after the corner shop during the day and played games at night.
One day, someone with the username “I'm a Cute Girl” randomly added her and asked to team up as a couple.

Qin Zhou stared silently at her own username, “Cute Girl Saves the World,” and made sure the other person was an adult before continuing the conversation.
After several months of online dating, Qin Zhou finally met her online girlfriend in person and discovered that they had met before. Her girlfriend was a tall, aloof CEO.
Later, she found out that her online girlfriend was also her ex-girlfriend's cousin.
Qin Zhou: ...Can I still run away?

Some time after the breakup, Meng Wu came to her senses and decided to win Qin Zhou back, showering her with expensive gifts.
She thought Qin Zhou would still be waiting for her, but accidentally walked in on her own cousin with her arms around Qin Zhou, kissing her.
Because of the angle, Qin Zhou didn't see the person behind her. Wen Songyue met Meng Wu's gaze, then looked down fondly at the woman in her arms. “Xiao Zhou, anything someone else can give you, I can give you too. Someone wants to buy your true feelings with money, but I'd give you even my life.”
Later, Wen Songyue really did just that.
But Qin Zhou ran away.
