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.
