In her first life, Xu Zhizhi was Gu Shixu’s master.
The System told her that once his affection reached 100, she could go home.
Xu Zhizhi zeroed in on the gullible, loaded young man who looked like an easy mark and flirted with him relentlessly.
But she went too far, and planted a deep-rooted love in the young man’s heart.
Knowing they could never be together, Xu Zhizhi explained the reason to him.

The future is unpredictable, and the System malfunctioned.
Xu Zhizhi did not return to her original world as she had hoped.
Everything started over. At a glance, she recognized Gu Shixu in the crowd, that familiar easy mark.
In this life, Gu Shixu was still her target, but their roles had changed:
He was her master, and she was the only female disciple in the entire sect, doted on by everyone.
Just as Xu Zhizhi was celebrating how smoothly her mission was going, his affection level got stuck at 99 forever.
Gu Shixu’s eyes were frosty as he asked, “Do you think I’m that easy to fool?”
Xu Zhizhi didn’t know whether to nod or shake her head.
With no other choice, she had to reload and start over.

In her third life, Xu Zhizhi chose to become a country girl, stay away from Gu Shixu, and pick a new target.
Before she could decide who that would be, Gu Shixu appeared in her life once again.
Xu Zhizhi was close to tears. “I was wrong. Can’t we just leave each other alone?”
Gu Shixu shook his head. “Don’t you know? Once a fish bites, it never lets go.”
