[The Outcast] Damn Conscience

Chen Ciyin and Wang Ye were high school classmates, but they were only casual acquaintances.

Today was the second time they'd met since graduation. They recognized each other in a rented apartment with a burst water pipe.

Wang Ye wasn't good at remembering people. The only reason he vaguely recalled the person in front of him was that Chen had been a transfer student back then, and she was quite pretty. His buddies used to go on and on about how she was on a level with the school beauty.

Uh, Wang Ye looks at the disheveled woman in front of him. What happened to her?

And how did Wang Ye, a genius from Tsinghua, end up becoming a Taoist priest? Is it really that hard for graduates of a top university to find work? Had he fallen so far that he came to this godforsaken town to swindle people, only to be tied up here by her, a crazy woman?

They stare at each other, both struck by how far the other has fallen.

So never ask how your high school classmates are doing. Maybe the top student back then became a monk, while the school beauty turned into a loser and a pervert.

Note: The story follows the original manga plot. The heroine is an outcast with a golden finger, and both leads are strong. If you like heroines who act like clingy wives, this one may not be for you.
