I'll start this after the female-dominant romance next door is complete~
The day before leaving to study abroad during her sophomore year, Qiao Shi slept with Zhou Zhou, the poor boy her family sponsored. The next day, she left the country alone, leaving him behind.
Zhou Zhou had been overjoyed, thinking it was Qiao Shi's belated gift for his eighteenth birthday. Before falling asleep, he'd already imagined the happy life they'd share after he graduated. But when he opened his eyes the next day, he was all alone.
Having been abandoned for the second time in his life, Zhou Zhou knew he could buy a plane ticket and go after her, but he was afraid of hearing Qiao Shi tell him to his face that she was leaving him.
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to bear it.
So he could only cling to a shred of hope and curl up back home, waiting for the day Qiao Shi might return and look in on him.
Two years later, just as Zhou Zhou received his first payment for a manuscript after graduating, Qiao Shi told him to transfer it to her, saying it was "for something important."
Then she sent him a bill for a high-end karaoke club.
With only a thousand yuan left in his account, Zhou Zhou felt as if life had returned to him. He'd found a way to stay connected to Qiao Shi, and he set about making money like crazy.
In front of Qiao Shi, Zhou Zhou: weak, helpless, and pitiful, a househusband who only knows how to serve his mistress.
When Qiao Shi isn't around, Zhou Zhou: "You dare offend my master? I'll leave no corpse behind. Ancient great demon, I'll slay even the gods if they stand in my way."
Qiao Shi curled one side of her mouth in a half-smile and narrowed her eyes. "Throughout history, the winners have always been the ones who picked the right side. Take me, for example. I lost the chance to leave descendants, but gained life for all eternity."
