From 2011 to 2025, the North drifted and sank for fourteen years.
When Qiao Yuxin first came to Beijing, she only had 2,000 yuan and a technical secondary school diploma in her pocket.
She thought this city would embrace every hard-working soul, but she soon discovered that dreams require tickets, and poverty does not even qualify for a basement.
·Multiple male relationships, no 1v1, non-traditional romance, more realistic ethical reflections
· The heroine is not a perfect character, she has struggles, calculations, indifference and vulnerability
· Trying to explore: When a woman has no resources, what can she use to exchange for a change in fate?
She has slept in basements, shared partitions, high-end apartments, and with men from different walks of life - every relationship is a ladder and a trap.
She traded her body for resources and her mind for a way out, but she could never get a "worthy" identity.
——The ups and downs and self-redemption of a woman who drifted to Beijing
◆ This is not a love story, this is a game about class.
◆ There is no innocent redemption, only sober perdition.
◆ She climbed up, but she was also broken.
"I once thought Beijing was the place where dreams began, but later I realized that only two kinds of people are allowed to survive here:
One is born at the end, and the other is those who learn to weigh their conscience and sell it. "
——Qiao Yuxin·Winter 2020
On July 7, 2025, the night in Chengdu was very hot. I was walking along the road to eat after midnight snack. Liu Yu's hand suddenly fell on the back of my neck, his warm palm pressed against my skin, and his tone was as brisk as reciting a lyric: "Strangle your fate by the throat."
Reader comments
I saw a lot of things in this book, things that I had thought about but didn't have the courage to do. It's passionate love and the courage to resist. I've never been to Beijing, but it feels like I'm there. I recommend everyone to read it carefully.
The emotions are sincere, the sensory descriptions are very immersive, the pictures and emotional tension are very strong, I was shocked after reading it, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.
The author's literary talent is very good. From the words to the thoughts, from the narrative to the emotions, the author has shown a very high level. It's amazing [Like][Like][Like]
A good book, I can't stop reading it [Adoration]
Sister who writes very well
Make people feel your loneliness
Maybe life is inherently unsatisfactory
I hope there will be someone who can love you in the future
The writing style is very good. The description of the environment will highlight the character of the characters. It is very eye-catching, but I still feel sorry for the protagonist. I haven't finished reading it. I will comment after reading it [Love]
