The fates of the wives of officials always seem to align with the prevailing social order. Adultery is commonplace, officials and businessmen collude, and desire knows no bounds. A gripping story, a plot full of twists and turns, lifelike characters, and flowing prose will make you realize, as you read, that these wives have long become variations on the colorful rhythms of modern life. A wealthy wife longs for love; a wife who has love longs for money. What does a wife with both money and love want? Three women, three social strata, three different patterns of marriage, and three completely different outcomes. As the saying goes, what goes around comes around. A life lived with restraint can never go too badly; a life lived with restraint can still hold its wonders amid the ordinary.
In this colorful age of commerce, the men of politics and business are undoubtedly the ones riding the crest of the waves. Yet behind these men stand their beautiful wives. They influence their husbands, their lives, and their power. They set sail on an ocean of desire, using their husbands' authority to carry themselves to shores ordinary people can never reach. Hao Congrong, wife of a municipal Party committee deputy secretary, and Xing Xiaomei, wife of a deputy county magistrate, are both romantically unrestrained and insatiably greedy. Qi Youyin, wife of a provincial Party committee deputy secretary, is the opposite: pure and spotless. All three women graduated from university with philosophy degrees, but after marrying and becoming wives, they chose different paths in life...
It's very well written and very insightful. . . I was especially moved by Yang Liang's dialogue with Boss Hou. . Not everyone has a mature view of money. Most people become addicted to desires when they have money, spend time and money, drink and drink, and sink into vanity day by day. Who you are will meet you, and who you are will meet you. The women in the article may not be perfect, but they have grown through the hardships in life. It is never too late for women to wake up. The premise is that when we truly rely on ourselves, we will gain strength. Qi Youyin is a person with great love. He is holy and beautiful as he ideally wants himself to be. As long as he is altruistic to others, he will attract help. . . May we all live our true selves. Completed on December 17, 2023
Life passes by like a dream, everyone writes their own life
The plot is twists and turns, full of positive energy, and very interesting. The characters are vivid, including philistine, justice, sinister, and sunshine. It not only reflects the sense of social responsibility, but also reveals the bad phenomena that exist in society. It is a rare good book! 👍👍👍
The writing skills are good and the plot is reasonable.
A very wonderful novel, very touching. I hope we all will not forget our original intentions and move forward bravely!
People should be more tolerant, more civic-minded, less self-interested and less clichéd to live with peace of mind.
