The Boyfriend Who Never Existed

[Originally titled "The Boyfriend Who Doesn't Exist"]

Jiang Yuan is famously a cool beauty, an untouchable flower on a high peak who keeps people at a distance. She always turns everyone down with the same excuse.

But nobody believes that Jiang Yuan already has a boyfriend.

Even though she always goes to the flower shop downstairs from her office after work to buy her boyfriend a bouquet, and goes on a date with him at least twice a week.

Couples' restaurants where each person spends thousands, ambiguous marks half-hidden on her neck...

Little by little, everyone accepted the truth.

All the signs suggested that Jiang Yuan really did have a boyfriend, and loved him very much.

Jiang Yuan thought so too.

The information broker known as "Crow" can provide any information, even secrets, as long as you offer a reward good enough to satisfy him.

Jiang Yuan was Crow.

The information broker carried a bouquet, hummed a tuneless melody, and cheerfully knocked on his own front door.

"I'm home," he said, taking out his key.

Jiang Yuan didn't have a boyfriend.

Sometimes, an information broker just needed an alibi and an excuse to make a clean getaway.

But the next moment, the door opened from the inside.

"Welcome home," said a man with thick-framed glasses and a gentle yet dangerous air.

He was even wearing an apron.

There was blood on it.

Jiang Yuan expressionlessly raised his gun and fired at her so-called boyfriend.

*

"A lie made up on the spur of the moment can become a powerful urban legend. Darling, you really are frightening," said the being who called himself her boyfriend, teasingly.

Jiang Yuan gave him a cool glance and retorted, "So this is why the Lord of Urban Legends took it into his head to play my lover?"
