An Lulu never imagined that the cockroach she crushed would be reborn as a human and become her landlord and teacher! And he'd come back for revenge, too! He says he'll make her wish she were dead. First, he piles on the rent; then he piles on the homework... What a nightmare... Please let her go... And that's not all. He won't let her date anyone, stay up late playing on her phone, or eat fried chicken when she's sick... Good heavens, this is worse than death!! One day, after she starts college...
At the dinner table, the man says, "Hey, I'm not supporting you for nothing anymore, and I'm not doing it without expecting something in return. Got that?"
The woman stops eating at once, her eyes brimming with tears. "I don't have any money..."
He curls his lip into a smile. "Don't worry. I don't want money. I want you." Then, with an unbearably smug look, he pops a peeled shrimp into her mouth.
Only then does she realize she's fallen, without even noticing, into his doting-wife trap...

True understanding encompasses all things; a pure life is akin to that of an immortal. Clinging to worldly dreams of a skeleton, one is destined to lie atop a mound of earth for a thousand lifetimes. (Zhuangzi, "Free and Easy Wandering")
