Cao Hongyue left the army and returned home to save his family’s failing business. He was busy day and night and didn’t know when a mother and son had moved in across the street. The woman was gentle and quiet, but so timid she was afraid whenever she saw him. Her child was nothing like his mother. He was bold and sweet-tongued, greeting Cao with a cheerful smile despite his face being scary enough to make a child cry.
He accidentally found the woman’s notebook and discovered that the timid woman was planning to kill herself!
Some people have bad luck, and some can’t seem to stop having bad luck. Fang Qingya felt she was one of them. She got married straight out of college and spent six years as a housewife. Then, just as her husband cheated and divorced her, her supposed best friend ran off with the child support. She thought that was as bad as things could get, but life slapped her hard. After years away from the workforce, she couldn’t find a suitable job and had to accept a clerical position from an old rival, one anyone could sneer at. She spent every day on edge, trying to avoid the fierce neighbor across the street. A thug inexplicably came after her for a debt, and even the little family affection she had turned out to be fake...
But no matter how hard life gets, you have to keep living. As long as you’re alive, there’s still hope.
