Oh My God! Your Childhood Friend Has Turned Evil!

[A Woman’s Growth + The Pain of Youth + Realistic Family Ethics + Childhood Friends + Mutual Healing]

[Resilient, Free-Growing Heroine vs. Detail-Oriented Hero Who Is Devoted to Her]

Yangyang has a gambling-addicted father, a mother who walked out, an aunt determined to marry her off to a nephew on her mother’s side, and an uncle who keeps urging her to drop out and get a job.

Yangyang has always remembered what her grandmother told her: Hang in there. Once your wings grow strong, you’ll be free.

So Yangyang swallowed her feelings until she became as meek as a lamb. But by the time she’d endured all she could, she discovered that she wasn’t just surrounded by wolves. She’d attracted jackals and tigers, too…

So

Yangyang decided she had to turn ruthless!

When her biological father stole her tuition money to gamble, she called the police and brought down his entire gambling den.

When a drug-addicted man tried to force her to marry him, she sent him straight to jail to sing the blues behind bars.

When her family pressured her to quit school and marry, she refused to give in. Call the police, call the police! This is a society governed by law!

In short, put up with it once and they’ll push for more. Flip the table, and better days are yours.

…

Everyone thought Yangyang was a sweet, well-behaved girl.

Only Yi Yang knew it was all an act!

Zhou Yangyang had once sat on his stomach and nearly beaten the crap out of him.

Later, he watched her bid farewell to her grandmother and struggle to survive in the cracks.

He thought she had really changed.

But one day, after he accepted a bottle of water from another girl, Yangyang pinned him against a tree and bit his lip until it split.

Fate wants to grind me into the mud, but I’ll bloom in the darkness and raise a vast, dazzling sea of flowers. [The pacing is on the slower side, but you won’t regret giving it a chance.]
