My Boyfriend Wants to Take Advantage of My Family's Wealth1

My boyfriend wants to claim my family’s assets, and funny enough, I have an axe to grind too. I went all out, buying him top brands, watches, and sneakers.

I ended up waiting for him at the restaurant for four hours. The waitstaff were whispering among themselves:

“Is this girl seriously obsessed with him?”

If only they knew how much more I’m willing to do to win his heart.

I had a dinner date with Evan at a fancy restaurant downtown, and he showed up four hours late. I waited gracefully, and as the waitstaff passed by, one of them said:

“Miss, we’re closing in half an hour. Are you still waiting?”

I checked my watch—it was nearly 10 PM. When Evan finally arrived, I gave him a warm look.

“Baby, why are you so late?”

He didn’t even try to hide it. “Oh, I got caught up playing games.”

I took his hand and said, “I understand. Let’s eat so you won’t be hungry.”

One of the waitresses, overheard and couldn’t help but think:

This must be love-struck behavior! Does this guy have any other qualities besides being good-looking?

Honestly, I’m not too concerned about his other traits. I’m mostly focused on his appearance and... his lifespan.

I’m what you’d call a Western demon. Our kind typically lives less than 30 years. But there’s a way to extend our lives—by consuming evil souls.

Unfortunately, consuming souls goes against the natural order, so we only eat evil spirits. Finding truly malevolent souls is rare; even encountering ordinary evil people is uncommon. We usually just exploit loopholes to extend our lifespan.

Evan is my loophole.

I met him during a company team party. He’s impressive in both looks and talent, but no one seems to get close to him. Curious, I asked a colleague who knows him well.

“Oh, him? Don’t bother. The last time he went out for milk tea with a girl, he insisted on splitting the bill down to the last cent.”

“And he also mentioned that his mom thinks he should find a beautiful and wealthy woman—what a mama’s boy.”

When I heard that, my eyes lighting up.

Evan, who’s all about getting the most out of every situation, seemed like a perfect match. When I noticed the black mist on his face, I was even more convinced he was exactly who I was looking for. So, I took the initiative and added him on WhatsApp.

It didn’t take long for us to start dating.
