The numbers aren't great, so updates will be weekly, every Friday. I won't abandon the story.
Please add it to your collection! If the collection count goes up, I'll update more often.
I'm revising the outline, so updates are paused for now. I'm working on a backlog.
Content warning: The heroine will keep several men on the hook, and there will be a little man-angst.
Jing Xunshuang's childhood friend and first love, Apes, died in an attack a year ago.
One day, she walks into a convenience store and meets a boy named Qiao Ersen, who's been caught stealing food by the clerk.
He looks to her for help.
She not only pays his fine, but invites him home for dinner and lets him stay the night.
All because his face bears a five-out-of-ten resemblance to her lost first love.
Qiao Ersen thinks he's incredibly lucky.
He'd taken a liking to her at first sight yesterday and asked her for help.
And even though she knows nothing about him except his name and age, she gives him a temporary pass to her villa.
Absolute trust, no defenses at all.
A naive, innocent big sister like her can't be allowed to get fooled by someone else.
He smiles silently, opens the portable smart device on the coffee table, enters "Jing Xunshuang" and hits search.
The results fill several pages, but only one line is actually relevant.
"Jing Xunshuang, 25, senior researcher at the Jade Lab under Boundless Sea Corporation. Research field: bionic applications."
Qiao Ersen's smile disappears.
Is she really just the naive, sheltered heiress she seems to be?
"From the refuge that Lucheng was at the beginning, to the later construction of Longcheng, Yingcheng, and Shicheng, and then the three relay cities, Yuecheng, Fucheng, and Chaocheng, humanity has grown from fewer than ten million survivors after the 'Tianhe Upheaval' to nearly a hundred million people today. One hundred million people spread across seven cities... A century ago, there were eight billion people on this planet."
"Eight billion people, more than two hundred countries, over two thousand ethnic groups, and tens of thousands of cities."
"Now, a hundred million people are crammed into seven cities."
The ITS organization, fond of attacking celebrities to boost its influence; the Wu organization, fond of underhanded schemes; the Security Council members, each with their own agendas...
Jing Xunshuang thinks Lucheng is a very interesting stage.
So before she reunites with Apes, she sincerely hopes everyone has a good time on it.
