At forty-two, Du Wanlin’s world came crashing down: her husband died in a car accident, and she discovered he had another family! She was left to face her teenage daughter and the wreckage of her life alone.
Once the company’s most dependable “invisible woman,” she decided she would no longer fade into the background. She transferred to sales of her own accord, faced the storms of the workplace head-on, and rebuilt herself from the ruins.
Shen Siyue, a calm and rational new executive, had been through a failed marriage. Yet in a woman seven years older than himself, he found love and warmth.
Two people wounded by marriage, they offered each other no salvation, only solidarity. There was no passion, but there was a steady, enduring understanding and respect.
This book tells the story of a middle-aged woman who, after losing her husband, finds her way back to her career, her confidence, and the possibility of love.
Forty is not the end. It is the beginning of awakening.
The characters are very three-dimensional, vivid and full, especially the image of the heroine is very successful. The story is relatively compact, but a bit slow. Don't be afraid of being late if you have a good meal. I look forward to better stories from the author. Unlike those novels that go straight to the subject, this novel is written from a good angle. What's rare is that it focuses more on women's growth and transformation. It has depth, thinking, growth, and insights. It's worth watching.
It can be said that the male and female protagonists live a very realistic life, are not pretentious and have a sense of responsibility. No wonder the older sister is looking for a sister who can take care of others and act coquettishly. The older sister is looking for a younger brother who has good physical strength. If both parties are healthy, it will not be a problem to take care of each other until they are in their seventies, hahahaha
The description of friendship, family and career in this book is deeply touching. The support of friends and family helped her get out of the quagmire. The male protagonist's support for the career of the female protagonist and female subordinates (although it is a bit petty) is enviable, and he knows the constraints of women in the workplace. The heroine also has to buy groceries, cook, eat and wash dishes and laundry after get off work. This is the flavor of life. You can't see this kind of life in many workplace urban dramas. This book deserves to be seen by more people
It's a very novel angle so far. I've always liked this author's writing. Please continue reading and then comment. It's very real, and the writing is very good. It's all about the love between mature men and mature women. It's not as bloody as ordinary stories. Every character is vividly portrayed.
It's a book that I can't put down, it's not cliché, it's not eye-catching, I love it so much😍
Delicate literary talent and no nonsense
The days that come and go, there are accidents, collapses, joys and graces, this is how life is. Fine
The author was too slow to update, so I had no choice but to go back and read it again. It was really well written.
The author's writing is really good, and the characters are vividly and three-dimensionally read. Reading the article is like watching a TV series. 👍👍👍👍
It's very beautiful and objectively describes people's hearts.
