Her boyfriend of seven years refused to break up when they were discussing marriage, mocking her for being "comfortable with the status quo and unable to see the future." The company's notice of layoffs was like the last straw, completely pushing Lin Wan's life to the bottom.
When she was frustrated, she sorted through her mother's belongings and found an old passport and an obscure address in the Italian town of Monteriggio. As if guided by fate, she received a warm invitation from her best friend, asking her to help take care of a second-hand bookstore that was on the verge of closing down.
Lin Wan left for a foreign country with the "breakup fee" earned from her youth and the courage to risk everything.
She thought it was just an embarrassing escape, but she didn't know that the gears of fate had already begun to turn. In Monteriggio's dusty "Moxiang" bookstore, she not only gave new value to ancient books with the oriental aesthetics and knowledge she inherited from her mother, but also discovered the hidden wealth and business opportunities hidden in rare books by accident.
With her keen insight and cross-border wisdom, she turned a dying old bookstore into a trendy landmark connecting Eastern and Western cultures, and opened the door to her own wealth and new life with her own hands.
When her ex-boyfriend regretted trying to get him back, she was able to smile calmly. The low-key but outstanding Chinese designer she met in a small town stood beside her and witnessed how she stood up from the mud, crushed the past into dust, and created her own dazzling kingdom with her own hands.
This is not only a story about a money counterattack, but also a gorgeous epic about a woman finding herself, realizing her value, and ultimately winning love and respect in the wider world.
