Chapter 1

To catch the last design project before Christmas, I'd been on business trips for three straight days.

On the high-speed train back, I absentmindedly scrolled into a livestream titled "Daily Life of a Kept College Girl."

"My sugar daddy's wife is on a business trip, so to save money on hotels, he let me stay at his place. Today's the last day!"

On screen, the girl wore a silk nightgown, pouting as she complained.

A comment asked: "If he's this cheap, why are you even with him?"

She smiled smugly. "My sugar daddy's a freeloader himself, but his wife is a famous designer!"

"He supports me entirely with his wife's money."

The camera panned, revealing a familiar curved balcony, custom bookshelves, a planet lamp...

Frame by frame, it was all the home I'd designed myself.

She winked playfully at the camera:

"My sugar daddy says after New Year's, he'll use his wife's year-end bonus to pay for my down payment."

"And he'll even have his wife personally design my wedding suite. Just thinking about it is so thrilling."

The moment the livestream ended, a message from my husband Lucas popped up:

"Honey, I transferred twenty thousand from your card. Needed it urgently."
