[A chronicle of an era + anti-pyramid schemes + family drama + business-war bubble + devastating realism]
[Reader's Guide]
⚠️ This is an adult tale of cruelty that “tears beauty to shreds for all to see.” If the first book was the growing pains of youth, this one is the slow torture of life.
⚠️ So real it's suffocating! Exposing the inside story of the “1040 Sunshine Project” pyramid scheme and recreating the absurdity and collapse of the frenzied real-estate boom. You'll see humanity's most avaricious calculations, as well as its most helpless struggles.
Yang Yifan.
He escaped the confusion of youth, only to plunge headfirst into the meat grinder of adulthood.
He thought he'd found true love, but it was a carefully laid “marry into the family and bleed him dry” trap set by his father-in-law's family;
he thought he'd caught the wave of wealth, but it was a nightmare of pyramid schemes woven by his own mother.
[High-Stakes Warnings]:
💸 The shocking “Golden Shore Wealth” scam: His mother, Liu Qin, desperate to turn her life around, drags the whole family into a “capital operation”! Invest fifty thousand yuan to make ten million? It's an abyss that devours your humanity!
👰 The schemes behind marriage: His father-in-law, Jia Dashan, and his family maneuver at every turn, from the bride price to the property deed. “Leave my name off it and I'll make a scene. Get divorced and I'll take the child.” Behind their plain, unassuming faces, they carry out the most parasitic schemes.
🏗️ The frenzied property bubble: From buying homes with “zero down” to trading “tea leaves for houses,” they stop at nothing to recoup their money. They watch the towers rise, then watch them collapse. Once-glamorous Mr. Xu sells his yacht, while Yang Yifan ends up guarding an unfinished apartment complex.
Life isn't a fairy tale. It's “a circle drawn nine-tenths of the way, with the last tenth a gap that can never be filled.”
Adapted from real social phenomena, every word is written in blood!
