I am one of the most renowned
sleep therapist in New York City.
Michael Johnson had been plagued by insomnia for days,but I was able to help him fall asleep peacefully

and prevent nightmares from disturbing him
.
Over the course of eight years,I went from being his therapist to his girlfriend.
Michael said he would erase all memories of his first love from my mind
.
However,he gave me a proposal full of reminders of his first love

.
The moment he got down on one knee
in front of me,I knew all my efforts over the years had come to nothing.
And Michael didn't know yet that he would never have a good night's sleep again.

……………………………………
Except when he was with me
Michael had never brought a girlfriend home
.
Everyone thought I would be kicked out of Michael's house the following day
,but what they didn't expect was that I had been with Michael and had been with Michael for eight years and knew him well
.
He frankly told me that he had an unforgettable first love,but he also repeatedly assured me that he wouldn't treat me as a substitute for her
When he introduced me to all his friends,he said,"With Lily, I can finally sleep peacefully until dawn.”
Michael regarded me as a treasure.He held me tightly in his arms and said,"Lily,do you know?Since you appeared,I haven't had any dreams about her anymore.You must be my lucky star."
I felt the warmth of his body coming from behind me.
I'm not sure if I'm his lucky star,but it's true that I can prevent him from dreaming
about his first love.
Because I am a dream-eating tapir.
And precisely because I am a dream-eating tapir,I can easily enter his dreams,make him have good dreams,and even change his dreams.
In his dreams,I learned the whole process of how Michael and his first love,Emily Brown,got along.
Emily and Michael met in their freshman year of college and fell in love in their sophomore year.However,due to the long-distance relationship and frequent conflicts after graduation,they broke up.
Both Emily and Michael are stubborn people,and over time,this became a source of pain
I observed that after Emily and Michael broke up,Michael led a life of drinking and indulgence,and I also saw those days when he tossed and turned in bed unable to sleep.
In my dreams,I knew all the images of Emily in Michael's heart.
She liked jasmine,so I deliberately made Michael send me roses instead,which were completely different from jasmine.
She liked the creamy-style decoration,so I asked Michael to redecorate the house into a minimalist style.
I originally thought that Emily should gradually fade from Michael's heart,but this proposal scene filled with white jasmine shattered the confidence I had gradually built up.
I had seen this scene several times in his dreams.
I walked stiffly up to Michael.He knelt down on one knee and showed me the ring he had bought.
The diamond symbolizing love sparkled brightly under the light.I recognized at a glance that it was a design from several years ago.
It was a limited-edition ring launched on the day Michael and Emily broke up.
Michael had hidden it for so many years before taking it out to propose to me.
This ring wasn’t meant for me at all.
"Lily,will you marry me?"Michael's eyes reflected my figure.
I took the ring,and there was thunderous applause.
Under everyone's gaze,I put the ring back into the ring box.
"I don't."
My eyes swept over Emily in the audience.
Since I appeared,her eyes had been fixed on me.
Her eyes, filled with unwillingness,anger,and jealousy, were directed at me
After hearing my refusal,she seemed to let out a sigh of relief and showed a victorious smile.
