She was born in a remote village into a poor family. Her parents hoped she would make something of herself, but after graduating from college, she became mired in harsh reality. Her degree was worth little, her job applications vanished without a trace, and each job she found was more menial than the last. When life pressed down on her until she could barely breathe, a friend’s words led her down a glittering, neon-lit path.
At the KTV, she was just an ordinary cashier, but she watched the hostesses wear designer labels and drive luxury cars, earning in a single night what amounted to half her monthly salary. Temptation was like a drug: once she tried it, she could never quit. The first time she drank herself senseless, the first time she forced a smile, the first time someone took her hand, she felt she had fallen into an abyss, yet she could not turn back.
There, she met all kinds of men: businessmen who spent money like water, officials who smiled while hiding a knife, carefree rich heirs, and ruthless gang bosses. She also met a gentle client who made her heart flutter, but love seemed so powerless in the face of money. Alcohol, money, and desire formed an invisible web that trapped her fast. She struggled, and she fell. In the end, she understood that leaving this path was harder than getting onto it.
This is a novel about reality, desire, loneliness, and human nature. It neither glamorizes nor condemns; it simply tells a true story of how a girl lost herself in the turbulent flow of the city, and tried to find herself again.
After reading a few pictures, I have no interest in reading anymore. Like the previous comment by netizens, the heroine is both cool and stand-up, which feels too ridiculous, and the whole article is basically a long-winded description of the inner world. Does the author want to show off his writing skills? Writing too much will make people look long-winded and annoying.
Not bad, interesting
Very realistic writing
The heroine is so cowardly. Zhao Qiang didn't write anything. She's like the God of Heaven, not daring to disobey. Some of the plots are unclear and a bit baffling.
