Synopsis

What can ten years change? Over ten years, Su Ran went from a nine-square-meter subdivided room in Shanghai Hongqiao to the floor-to-ceiling windows on the twenty-sixth floor in Lujiazui. It also took her ten years to go from a girl everyone saw as dust to the light of her own world. She met many people. Wu Kai said, “I’ll take care of you,” then disappeared into the crowd. Zhang Peng said, “We need to fight side by side,” then turned and walked away. Gong Ruixin said, “My mother wants me to find a local Shanghai girl,” then never contacted her again... And then there was Wang Jiahua. The man she had looked up to saw her as nothing more than a passerby. They brushed shoulders at a hometown association gathering, and there was no sign of recognition in his eyes. When they met again later, he still didn’t see her. That was when she understood: Some people are destined to be the light in your life, while you are only dust in their eyes. When she was thirty, she ran into him again at a chamber of commerce event. Wang Jiahua stood among the crowd and called her “Ms. Chen,” his eyes full of admiration. She held out her hand and smiled faintly. “Mr. Wang, long time no see.”

Feel-Good Stories That Stay Close to Reality!!

I'd like something grounded in reality, but with a sensible premise. It can bend reality a little, and preferably have a System. Stock trading and family infighting would be great, followed by the realization that the protagonist can't measure up to the male lead. Please recommend me some books, experts!!!

Are There Any Books With a Highly Intelligent, Meticulous Heroine Who Plans Every Move?

Looking for books similar to *In the 1960s, I Became the Scheming Female Lead's Stepping Stone*. The female lead can suffer, but she must always get revenge. Good writing would be nice, but isn't essential. I just hope the golden finger isn't too overpowered; a little female-lead luck is fine. I still prefer smart female leads.
