Synopsis

Ding Chengshi is a middle-aged man who has just turned forty. Three months ago, his wife suddenly died of heart disease. For various reasons, his company had no choice but to close, leaving him with 500,000 yuan in debt. He used to be the sort of man who wouldn't even pick up an overturned oil bottle at home. Now he's a single father, facing a rebellious thirteen-year-old every day. His career has failed, his life is a mess, and he and his son are at each other's throats. How can he get his career and his life back on track? Ding Chengjie is Ding Chengshi's younger sister, eleven years his junior. After dating her first love for four years, she was cheated on and dumped during her senior year of college. Since then, she's shut herself off from love and focused solely on work. At twenty-six, she left her well-paid job as an English tutor to become a mural painter at Fen Shua Shua. At twenty-nine, while resolving a fight involving her nephew, she met Xiao Yuanfang, a former physics teacher who had started his own business. The two shared the same ideals, but while falling in love was easy, making it work was not. Faced with her first love pursuing her again, the burden of her family's debts, and crises in their careers and businesses, how can they stay true to themselves and get their love and work back on track?

Any Novels Set in the Workplace?

I'd like a female lead who's a career-driven professional, like a lawyer, or someone who starts out as a novice and grows into a top professional. Romance is optional.
