After Turning Over a New Leaf, the Strongest Teacher Kept Me on a Tight Leash

Every day, I shuffled through life in a daze, like the walking dead.

Gojo Satoru put a big hand on my shoulder and narrowed his eyes. "What did you say?"

I said I was happy and radiant every day!

Gojo Satoru gave a little snort and walked away, leaving me behind to scream silently inside, furious but unable to say a word.

Damn it, I can't keep living like this!

I'm an independent jujutsu sorcerer.

Back in the day, I could do anything: sing karaoke, drink, dance, and pick up guys. They called me the Little Princess of the Waves. I wandered through a field of flowers without a leaf ever touching me, and everyone in the underworld had to call me big sis.

After making good money taking jobs, I came to Japan to explore the poetic mystery of why flowers are so red. I was in the middle of the steamiest part of a little manga when a sinister voice suddenly drifted into my ear like a ghost:

"Were you the one who exorcised the cursed spirit I set aside for my students to practice on?"

I screamed in fright, my hand jerked, and my book fell into the river and was swept away.

"!!!!!!!!!! You bastard!"

I roared in fury and slapped him. I don't know how this handsome guy's brain was wired: maybe all the nutrients had gone to his face, or maybe they had all gone to his height. The idiot didn't even dodge. He just took my slap full on.

SMACK!!!!!!!!!!

Loud and crisp, sweet and clear.

His sunglasses went flying.

The idiot: "..."

Me: "..."

The three little brats staring in shock not far away: "…"

And that's how I met my future boyfriend, by getting off on the wrong foot with him.

This is a love story about meeting, falling in love, and walking down the aisle.

The heroine is a Chinese woman with no name. Both leads are each other's first and only. Sweet, funny, ridiculous, and shameless romance, told in first person with occasional shifts in perspective. There is no manga main storyline, and no Sukuna or Kenjaku. Itadori enrolls as usual, but this story has its own plot. It's purely, purely, purely a romance. Gojo-sensei loves his wife deeply, intensely, and without reservation, especially in the alternate timeline. He's completely, hopelessly devoted, so be prepared before you start reading (important) (heart). This is my bottom line and my personal taste: I will only ever write an overwhelmingly pure love story where the other half adores his wife. I'm still learning, and writing this purely for love, so please don't be mean. Mwah~

(I'm not good at replying, but I'm incredibly grateful for every comment you leave. I read them all. You have no idea how many nights I've let out a piercing scream into my pillow. Thank you!!)

A note after a very, very long time: The alternate timeline is actually what I most wanted to write from the beginning. To me, it's no different from the main story. It is the main story. So please read the alternate timeline, okay? I'm begging you to read it! Don't make me get down on my knees and beg, ahhhhhhh!

One more little note: Please leave lots of comments if you can. I really want comments... fidgets with fingers... I wrote this because I love Gojo-sensei, and for no other reason. The only things I want are comments and feedback. They give me so much encouragement, support, fulfillment, and motivation. They make me feel so incredibly seen and affirmed (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`) Please leave lots of comments if you can. I'll be so happy I'll spiral right up to heaven and bawl my eyes out (sobbing.jpg).

Warning: The alternate timeline has angst and is somewhat cruel to the heroine. The painful parts aren't about the romance, but about the heroine's background. If anyone wants to know, the main story will absolutely stay sweet!

Once again, thank you to everyone willing to read my story, and thank you for your comments. I'm grateful for every one, whether it's encouragement, suggestions, or thoughtful discussion. I'll keep your feedback in mind in all my future writing. Thank you!!!

I will not accept judgment, I will not accept judgment, I will not accept judgment. I'm a little mentally fragile, and my heart has been through a lot. Maybe in the past I could humbly accept any criticism and suggestions, but now I'm gradually getting back to normal. I only want to finish writing this quietly, without being affected, holding on to my peace, my original intentions, and my love for it. Mwah~

P.S. My heroine is very, very into that stuff. She loves it, and everything related to it, including videos, novels, comics, and all sorts of websites. She has no preferences when it comes to genres, including BL and BG. Please don't bother me if that makes you uncomfortable.

I'm available for commissions. Is anyone interested in hiring me? (stares blankly) For samples, check the later chapters of this story, not the early ones. The later and earlier writing seem a little different. Maybe I've improved some... Someone told me this style might not be very popular for commissions, and I know that too, so I won't charge much. The writing is a bit on the plain side, but I can offer plenty of it. I'm really sorry, I'm in a bit of a tight spot and could use some income ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅
