Xu Yanzhi had terrible luck for the first half of her life. She choked on water, fell from the top bunk in her dorm, and got slapped by women whenever she dated. Luckily, she stayed positive and made it this far.
Who could have guessed that one day her luck would turn? Not only did a kind, beautiful senior help her out at work and in life, but she also found herself surrounded by love interests.
The girl next door, who used to say cruel things to her, moved into the apartment above hers, clung to her and begged for affection, and did everything she could to declare her love.
The aloof beauty who once tore up her love letter became her client, clumsily inventing excuses to spend time with her and acting like a pitiful little puppy in private.
The close friend who had once gone her separate way crossed paths with her again, her gentle gaze filled with affection.
Just as Xu Yanzhi was about to find herself in a classic groveling-ex redemption plot, she was left speechless.
Even novels wouldn't dare write something like this!
Xu Yanzhi thought these groveling-ex plots were completely unnecessary. They only gave her a headache.
Luckily, she still had her kind senior. She helped Xu Yanzhi find a place to live and get a job, came to her rescue, and even offered to pretend to be her girlfriend to ward off her admirers.
Xu Yanzhi was so grateful she could hardly contain herself. With a senior like this, what more could she ask for?
She had planned to treat her senior to dinner to thank her properly. Who could have guessed she'd enjoy her drinks a little too much, black out briefly, then wake up to find her senior's bewitching face flushed with a blush she'd never seen before, the woman leaning over her, breathing hard as she kissed her?
Xu Yanzhi: Can someone tell me if this is an erotic dream or a nightmare?

Strictly speaking, Sheng Qi had only met Xu Yanzhi once during all their years in college.
They met that one time at a department get-together. The girl was bright and vivacious, her eyes crinkling as she smiled and sweetly called her "Senior."
That day, Sheng Qi had rushed back to the capital from Guangxia, weary and travel-worn. But for some reason, seeing Xu Yanzhi made her feel the trip had been worth it.
Sheng Qi thought it was because she appreciated and was proud of her junior. Her first impression of Xu Yanzhi was a good one.
That was, until the girl came to Guangxia and Sheng Qi arranged for her to live next door.
She was just as adorable as before, but seemed to have a rather chaotic personal life.
When Sheng Qi came home from working late, she might find the girl sobbing uncontrollably in the hallway, tugging at her sleeve. During a break at work, she might see a colleague from a partner company slapping herself over and over in front of Xu Yanzhi. Even at the cat cafe she occasionally visited on weekends, the owner might be gripping Xu Yanzhi's hand tightly, eyes red-rimmed.
At first, Sheng Qi thought her unease came from not being able to stand by and watch a promising junior throw her life away. But only after kissing Xu Yanzhi did she realize...
She had just been jealous.
*No love-triangle speculation. A switch couple by nature, with the story leaning toward the bottom's perspective.
*An outwardly dazzling beauty who is actually innocent, gentle, jealous, and genuinely kind × a sunny sweet girl who is actually a heavy drinker, careless, scatterbrained, and clumsy
