The notice ordering her to go work in the countryside had arrived. Shen Zhiyi's parents planned to marry her off to a fifty-year-old widower and use the bride price to pave the way for her younger brother.
She neither cried nor made a scene, only sneering to herself. If they refused to treat her like a person, they couldn't blame her for fighting to carve out a way to survive.
She set her sights on Xie Jingming, the only son of the most powerful family in town. The coolly beautiful young woman approached him of her own accord, winning him over one step at a time.
After they married, he assumed she was after the Xie family's status. But then he discovered that she treated him with indifference and focused only on secretly preparing for the university entrance exams. He couldn't help caring about her and defending her, then caring about her even more.
Shen Zhiyi had already drawn a clear line: get into university, earn her degree, and then leave. He had never been part of her future. But as he clumsily memorized all her little habits and repeatedly stepped in when others gave her a hard time, that line began to blur without her even noticing.
From a small town to the provincial capital, from a grassroots official to a woman leading efforts to advance policies protecting women and children, Shen Zhiyi spent twenty years turning her life around. And the man who once thought she only wanted his family's fortune ultimately became, of his own free will, the place she called home.
It turns out that I just realized it when I read the 28th chapter of the novel! I like this book very much. I think the heroine has her own ideas. Her relationship with the hero is slowly warming up. I really like watching the two of them write letters. Good luck, author.
This book made me feel depressed, but it was fertile ground. I can see an upward momentum in this book. Shen Zhiyi is tragic, lucky, and even more respectable. I don't often write book reviews, and I don't know how to express my feelings, but I think this book may be the first book I read a second time.
Well written, I look forward to the heroine's counterattack
It's a very good article. It's very well written. The female protagonist is very motivated. The male protagonist and his family are all very good. There are no absolute bad guys here. Everyone is working hard to live. I like the author's writing style.
