The experiment failed. The test subjects escaped.
On her first day as a temp, Jiang Xingyao was given an impossible task: find all the escaped test subjects.
Before she could find any of them, Test Subject 003 found her first.
[Employee Handbook: The lower the test subject’s number, the more dangerous they are.]
003: “I’ve been looking for you for hundreds of years.”
Jiang Xingyao: “Huh?”
003: “It’s time we settled our score.”
Jiang Xingyao: “Sir, you’ve got the wrong person. I just turned eighteen.”
003: “You betrayed your vow.”
Jiang Xingyao: “?”
Oh no. She had transmigrated here and knew nothing about what had happened before. The “man” in front of her looked young and handsome, with incredible abilities, and he’d opened with hundreds of years of yearning. He fit every requirement for a tragic love story. Had the original owner really left him with some kind of romantic debt?
003: “Pay me back!”
Jiang Xingyao: “???”
003: “One hundred billion, with interest.”
Jiang Xingyao: “!!!!!!!!”
What kind of hellish start was this? Owing someone for love would’ve been better!

She had once told him that she would stay by his side as he grew, and that when he became the strongest, she would be with him.
He took it for a promise, a vow.
He believed her, and from then on, he regarded her as his wife.
But she had forgotten what she’d said, and was even putting on a clumsy act in front of him.
He thought he should kill her. Anyone who broke a vow was unforgivable.
But she was his wife, after all.
He thought he should give her a chance.
His wife loved money.
Good. He had money.
His wife needed a powerful patron.
That was fine. He was powerful enough.
When his wife ran into trouble, he was the first person she thought of.
Hmm, that was quite nice.
His wife depended on him and trusted him.
His wife’s acting grew more and more natural.
His wife always reminded him of the source of life. He found that feeling difficult to put into words...

Premise: The truth is here!!
