Zhilan's Way Home
by Da Laomiao
About This Novel
Zhilan, like her name, is a simple and tough girl. She just wants to find a job and survive in this city. A seemingly perfect recruitment notice made her think that she was finally being treated well by life. However, when the door closed behind her, she realized that what she had walked into was not an office, but a carefully arranged cage. This place is full of crazy shouts, twisted "success science", and eyes everywhere. In the days of losing her freedom and suffering, the most terrifying thing was not the physical deprivation, but the domestication - they tried to transform her into another person, making her forget her name and the way home. But Zhilan always remembers the direction from which she came. On the verge of despair again and again, she guarded the weak fire called "home" deep in her heart. In the end, she ran away with scars all over her body. However, the real journey home has just begun. When she stood in front of the familiar door, she found that some parts of her heart were trapped in that nightmare forever. The return of her body is only the first step. How can she rebuild her shattered self, how can she trust the world again, and how can she suture those invisible wounds? This is a story about falling into the abyss and struggling back. It is not only an escape, but also a long journey of a person rebuilding himself from the ruins and finally truly "going home" spiritually.
