Give Me a Lifetime of Happiness

An Ran considers herself a lucky woman. Just a year after graduating from college, she has a decent job, a close best friend, and coworkers whose occasional disagreements are nothing to worry about. Best of all, she's been happily dating her boyfriend for four years. They've even made it past the three-year itch!

Maybe An Ran's happiness was so enviable that someone cursed her, and the curse came true...

Could anything be more miserable than your boyfriend being too busy with work to spend Valentine's Day with you?

Of course: getting drunk alone, then waking up in a huge hotel bed beside your boyfriend's boyfriend, a notorious playboy.

Could anything be even more miserable?

Of course: going to your best friend's place to pour your heart out, only to find your supposedly out-of-town boyfriend, who was “busy with work,” there with her, and... the two of them together.

When your best friend tearfully swears that they're in love, what should you do? Slap them across the face!

No, wait. Buy them a coffin and smile as you wish them a life together and a shared grave?!

Neither. An Ran gives herself a hard slap and runs away.

But can someone tell her why that playboy won't stop chasing her? And, um, is it true that a reformed playboy is worth his weight in gold? How else can she explain this guy's persistence?

Ling Zijue, what on earth are you trying to pull?

Ranran, can you really not tell that I'm serious?

Did you say the same thing to all those younger and older schoolmates before me?
