Ever since she was a child, Ye Mengyun had wondered whether, in the eyes of her childhood friend Zheng Anran, ordinary people like them were all goldfish who could only stare and gape.
But it didn't matter. Zheng Anran was a hairless monkey, and no matter how much he jumped around, he could never escape her grasp.
Until five years ago, when the two of them confronted a serial killer and Zheng Anran ran off, leaving her alone.
Luckily, she was blessed with good fortune and escaped death.
Over the past five years, she has both stuck pins into a voodoo doll of her scumbag ex and immersed herself in developing a metaverse human-computer interaction platform. Step by step, she has become a rising internet entrepreneur with a modest reputation in the industry, as well as a special adviser to the cybersecurity division of the Jinjiang City Public Security Bureau.
Using her position as an adviser, Ye Mengyun has never given up on investigating the truth about the case from back then.
When they reunite because of another case, the scumbag glances at her, instantly turns into a swaggering king, and acts as if he doesn't know her.
In a fit of anger, she gives him a punch in the name of justice. He collapses on the spot, his art of pretending to be injured seemingly perfected.
Later, she learns that there was no way he was faking it. He'd never be able to fake it in this lifetime.
That's because Zheng Anran is a porcelain doll glued back together after being shattered. He sheds pieces without anyone touching him, and one touch could turn him to dust.
Well, she can only say, "Well, I'll be damned."
