At twenty, An Yiran’s world suddenly collapsed. Her father, a high-ranking official, fell to his death; her mother’s kidney disease returned; and all their assets were seized. To save her mother, she made a deal with Chang Zhaohui, a man twenty years her senior: three years of her youth in exchange for a chance at survival.
At twenty-six, she returned to F City with her mother’s ashes in her arms. As she dealt with the property her mother had left behind, the businessman Xu Zhendong ensnared her in a tender trap woven from ardent love. His pursuit was dazzling, but his womanizing nature tore their marriage to pieces. Meanwhile, Chang Zhaohui, once a towering power, came crashing down amid the political maelstrom. Only Gu Chuan, the man who had always stood silently like a shadow, built her final refuge with a lifetime of devotion.
Power struggles, tangled desire, and steadfast redemption intertwined throughout her twenty-eight years of ups and downs. At forty-eight, she closed her eyes for the last time, leaving no children behind, only three searing memories that gradually faded in the river of time.
Chang Zhaohui was her original sin, Xu Zhendong was her calamity, and Gu Chuan ultimately became her salvation.
(A tragic song of ruin and redemption.)
I am a person who rarely writes long reviews, but I really couldn't help it. I finally found a good book. My wife is so beautiful. I read it all night. I like the author's writing style. The plot is very novel and you can never guess what the next step will be. The characteristics of each character are well described and the progression of the characters is also very good. Only the author can directly attract the attention of each character. When A appears, you will feel that A has a successful career. When B comes out, you will find that A. It turns out that you are just a star in the universe, and B is the entire galaxy. Then you will forget about that little star, and only the Milky Way is left in your eyes, ring by ring. I really like it. No! I'm really convinced. It's so beautiful 🥰🥰🥰
It looks good, but I don't really like Xu at this stage. Can the heroine be free and easy alone? Author
Nice. Xu Zhendong is out. He really doesn't deserve Ran Ran.
From accidentally reading it at the beginning to catching up on it every day, this is the highest-quality and best-written novel I have ever read on Tomato. It is not a domineering novel about love and affection, but a novel that is both close to reality and a little romantic, integrating officialdom, business war, finance, philosophy, and love (including immoral and taboo love). The heroine has experienced three men in her short but wonderful life. One is a passing man, and the other two are unforgettable to the heroine. It is worth mentioning that these two men were married when they met the heroine. Neither of them are traditional true, kind and beautiful men. Each character is extremely complex, so readers who can't help but feel uncomfortable can choose to watch it.
I have to say that this author is really good at writing articles. Although most of the articles she writes have San as the protagonist, her novels are really delicious. But with such a powerful pen, I think she should have a wider audience if she writes a good article that does not stray from the three views.
I feel that Gu An is the best in the whole story. She is the illegitimate daughter of the first male protagonist Chang Zhaohui, and she was raised under the name of the third male protagonist Gu Chuan. The heroine knew that she was the illegitimate daughter of Chang Zhaohui and another woman. It was not until twenty-two years later that I encountered the first sad event in my life - the death of the heroine. The heroine lived a 48-year life. The first 20 years were without any major worries. From the age of 20 to 30, she was faced with major twists and turns in life. Her father, mother, and aunt died one after another, she got married and divorced, and the two men she loved, Chang Zhaohui and Gu Chuan, had accidents one after another. They ran around trying to save Gu Chuan, leading to their early death from heart problems.
The second male lead is really exciting
Chase every day, day and night. This book cannot be summed up as beautiful, but wonderful!! Quite exciting!! Business war, power, darkness, competition, who is the King? The love line of this book revolves around the heroine. She experiences different lives at different stages. The plot has ups and downs, and the characters are vividly portrayed. From the phenomenon to the essence, it is worth reading!
It's quite good, not a silly novel. The description of officialdom makes me think the author is from within the system 🤭
Super beautiful, full of tension The author's writing style is profound, his words are profound, and the environment he renders is realistic and vivid on the page. Regarding the close description and vividness of some areas, I sometimes think that the heroine, mainly because her father is still here, may not have such a life experience, will not be remembered, be entangled with much older people, encounter ruffians who are not worthy of her Xu, and finally care. She should live young, wanton, and happily, or finally meet someone who is similar to her age and has similar interests. Or go abroad in the first place and stay away from these people.
