bittersweet ending

"There is a rumor in the martial world: A young man, expelled from his sect despite possessing a lifespan of a hundred thousand years, is deemed a waste. For survival and to uncover the mystery of his lineage, he navigates daily between defeat and the hardships of existence. What will become of this young man? Will he perish halfway, or will he chase after the geniuses of the heavens, shattering the fate of being a waste, and uncover the secrets of his own origins?"

Ethan chuckled to himself and ran his fingers through my hair. Electricity ran up my spine as I tried not to react to how good it felt. “God, you’re cute.” He said. He leaned in and kissed me on the lips. I kissed him back, and we lingered in our embrace for a moment before pulling away. I could see something was shifting, was he holding me? What were these feelings brewing inside of me? I told myself not to take them too seriously. “You’re pretending.” I whispered to myself. “None of this is real.” - The offer was simple: one million dollars to pretend to be his girlfriend, then his fiance, in a space of six months. Everything she wanted was going to be at the tip of her fingers, including, maybe, making her best friend Jake a tiny bit jealous. What could go wrong? Everything, absolutely everything. And they both wanted it.
