My Years as a Foot Massage Therapist

Behind the closed doors of a foot massage parlor lie countless secrets and sordid truths. It's a hidden corner where male customers drop their masks and give free rein to their desires. Shameless advances, explicit flirtation, and empty promises are an everyday reality for the masseuses. They bear the burden of making ends meet and struggle to get by: every masseuse has secrets no one knows.

Lin Xiu is one of them. The debts left by her divorce forced her to take refuge there. But she never sank into the chaos of life at the bottom. In the midst of her busy days, she kept studying, holding fast to her principles amid the glitter and gossip. She has witnessed the warmth and coldness of human nature and experienced the cruelty of survival, yet has always believed that knowledge can change one's fate. Through unrelenting effort, Lin Xiu eventually paid off her debts and escaped the lowly world of the foot massage parlor. She landed a new office job in a prestigious high-rise, writing her own triumphant comeback story through sheer grit and hard work.
