Song Zhu has been the Abuse Novel Bank's top branch manager for years. The greatest contribution of her career has been bringing the bank an unparalleled abuse novel to use as an ATM.
This abuse novel has every kind of popular trope, including "three generations of grudges," "revenge," and "parting in life and death." It single-handedly secured the Abuse Novel Bank's leading position in the industry.
Until one day, Song Zhu realized that the story was gradually going off course.
With all the angst gone, the bank was running at a loss, and its deposits were dwindling. Song Zhu began living from one meal to the next.
Anger surged in her heart, and a wicked thought crept into her mind. Her dream of lying flat had shattered, so Song Zhu rolled up her sleeves and sharpened her knives. She was going to find out which bastard had ruined her livelihood!
