I Heard You've Had a Crush on Me for a Long Time

Her father favors sons over daughters, her mother has passed away, and her brother is in debt, with creditors showing up at their door. For the first twenty-three years of her life, Xiao Qingqing seemed to be following the script of a selfless saint. Just as she was ready to turn over a new leaf and become a 'bad person,' her dream man came falling from the sky. "Be my assistant. I'll take you away." Xiao Qingqing: Had all the luck I've saved up for over twenty years finally come through in a big way? She thought all her suffering had finally paid off and better days were ahead. Until that night, when he took off his suit and unbuttoned his shirt, teasing her endlessly, never satisfied. Before Xiao Qingqing could even cry, Zhou Yuxiao gently bit her ear. "I've been holding back for five years. Can you put up with me tonight? Hmm?" His voice was low and husky, utterly seductive. Xiao Qingqing: Five years?? She knew Zhou Yuxiao once had a first love he held dear above all else. She didn't know that the girl was herself. A more literary take: He took her from a remote village to a warm city, leading her out of the abyss and into the light. Theme:
