I was pure-hearted, but reality kept slapping me in the face.

After being falsely accused, I had no choice but to run away from home. I fled to my aunt’s house, but my uncle wouldn’t take me in. Could my life get any more miserable?
Society is simple. People are what make it complicated.
I faced the world alone. I was honest and loyal, and had a few little tricks up my sleeve. I often helped people out of trouble, only to find myself in a predicament again and again.
I started out selling things at a street stall, then built my own company... I was driven to do it all.
My name is Yu Chunshen. My ancestors for generations were farmers, yet my father gave me the poetic name “Chunshen.” I don’t know whether it came from Lu You’s “Spring deep, spring breezes blow everywhere” or Guanxiu’s “Spring deep, the road stretches far,” but I like it. I’ve had two girlfriends, one named Yin Xixi and the other Ren Qianxun. Both were as beautiful as flowers, and they liked my name too. Want to know which one I ended up with? My status wasn’t quite a match for theirs. What a dilemma!
It’s not quite true that all my ancestors were farmers, either. My father’s grandfather once served as an imperial physician in the palace.
