Sweet as Honey: An Eighties Love Story

Zhao Linran’s greatest regret was failing to get into college. Without a diploma, she went to work in a factory, then became a free nanny for her younger sister, Zhao Nuannuan, looking after her entire family. By the time she was in her forties, her looks had faded and all hope for her life was gone. Only then did she learn that she had actually been accepted to college back then, but her mother, Jiang Yulan, had sold her place. And the money had ultimately been spent on her younger sister’s family. Consumed by regret and remorse, she returned to 1987. She exposes her mother and sister’s false fronts and refuses to be guilt-tripped by them anymore. She becomes a top student and gets into college. She becomes a lawyer and stands up for the vulnerable... In the 1990s, she thrives, while her mother and sister’s lives grow worse and worse. She doesn’t walk this road alone. That business tycoon everyone talks about has always been by her side!
