An Wu Merchant Woman (biography of Zhou Ying, the Richest Woman in the Late Qing Dynasty)
About This Novel
This book is based on a true story that happened in Anwu Fort, Jingyang County, Shaanxi Province in the late Qing Dynasty. It tells the touching story of the heroine Zhou Ying, who spent twenty-four years from being widowed at the age of 18 to dying of illness at the age of 42. She fought against various forces with a fearless spirit and became one of the few female officials in Chinese history who was appointed by the feudal dynasty to "sit on the family platform", but she ultimately left behind a tragic legacy. The work reproduces the local customs and folk culture of Guanzhong in the late Qing Dynasty with real scenes. It is a literary work with important sociological value and strong appeal.

Is there a character named Shen Xingyi in the original work?
It's different, it was different from the beginning
Is it the same as the TV series?
Is Shen Xingyi really dead? I really don't want him to die! When I watched the TV series that he died, I felt so sad. When Zhou Ying cried, I cried too. I feel that someone like Shen Xingyi, who loves Zhou Ying selflessly and fearlessly without asking for anything in return, risking his life for Zhou Ying and treating her wholeheartedly, should not die! I would rather they never get together, and I would rather he be alive
I remember when I was a child, I told her that I would marry her when I grow up. At that time, she smiled and said yes! I was 8 years old and she was 10 years old! Time flies. Ten years have passed. She has gone to a prestigious university, and I have been moving bricks on the construction site for a year. I can't express my love anymore, because I don't deserve it. I will tell her everything when I am worthy of her one day. Time flies. Four years have passed. I have become a contractor and no longer worry about money. I don't know how she is doing, whether she is a wife or a mother! When I saw her again, it was in Dongguan. There were two of us in a dim rental room. After a long silence, she finally spoke: Nine hundred, just five hundred because you are an acquaintance! I took a deep breath to stop myself from shaking, and said, "Come with me." Her eyes glazed over for a moment, then flickered, and then went out like a fire, and said, "I'm not worthy of you, I still have guests, nothing happens, I'll leave first." She left in a hurry. Later, I saw her on TV. She was being held by two policemen, with a look of fear and distress on her face. The TV did not even cover her face, letting her dangle in front of me, letting her bump, bump, and break into pieces in my heart. The last time I saw her, she came to find me. She was on the roof of the building at that time. , I looked up at her downstairs, just like when I told her that I liked her, she said on the phone: [The Doomsday Red Envelope System] is very beautiful, but it's a pity that she can't wait any longer.
