This story is set in the post-pandemic era, amid escalating trade wars and the push for dual circulation in domestic and international markets, as businesses upgrade and transform. It follows a group of decal-decorating women at an eccentric ceramics factory. In a world of scheming, cliques, jealousy, and fierce wits, how do they manage to thrive?

At times she is like a celestial maiden descended to earth, untouched by worldly concerns; at others, she is like a ruthless queenpin, crushing her opponents into submission...

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.
