"I want to turn all the rain I have been exposed to into the light that illuminates the future."
Dear readers, when I typed the name "Lin Xi" on the keyboard, I seemed to see countless women struggling between marriage and career winking at me through the screen. They are mothers who are still editing PPT at three in the morning, working women who endure stomach pain to attend parent-teacher meetings, and fists that clenched and unclenched when looking at the dazzling message on their mobile phones...
This work is my love letter to all "late maturing" women. We may meet love later, and learn to manage marriage later, but the detours we have taken and the tears we have shed will eventually become the nutrients that water the most beautiful flowers of life. Just like the moment Lin Xi signed the divorce agreement, she was not giving up, but signing a solemn contract of rebirth - the accounting supervisor who had endured seven years for her family and dared not wear high heels would transform into a financial director holding an offer from a listed company, and she would meet a man who understood the word "independence" better than she did.
Some people say this story is too "cool", but how can there be any cheating in life? Those seemingly accidental turning points are all the stars accumulated when walking alone in the dark night. When Lin Xi deliberately knocked over the champagne and threw it at the mistress at the reception, when she used data to fight back against the plagiarists at the board meeting, when she put on ten-centimeter red-soled shoes for the first time and walked into Lu Yu's office... Behind these scenes, how many alarm clocks at four o'clock in the morning, how many notebooks soaked with coffee stains, how many times of practicing smiles in front of the mirror are hidden?
Here, there is no Mary Sue-style savior, only comrades who grow up side by side.
