No Proof of Good or Evil, Just the Rest of Life

At twenty, Luoyu lost both her parents overnight. Her own uncle and aunt stripped her of every last bit of her inheritance, then callously threw her out. Alone, she was trapped in the lowest depths of a crowded urban village.

There is no clear justice in this world, nor any inevitable reward for good or punishment for evil. Good people may endure hardship and sink into obscurity without ever reaping the benefits, while the wicked scheme for their own gain and live comfortably.

She believes in neither fate nor reincarnation. She has no desire to play the saint, and no interest in losing herself in romance. Amid the warmth and coldness of human relationships, she sees the harsh truths of the world. Caught in the cracks between social classes, she grits her teeth and puts down roots just to survive.

From odd jobs on the streets to navigating the workplace, and then striking out on her own, she sees through false pleasantries, steers clear of fair-weather relatives and friends, refuses to obsess over revenge, and won’t hold herself hostage to moral expectations.

Life is full of ups and downs, and people’s hearts are hard to fathom. She simply stays true to herself and looks after her own life. She won’t save anyone else, only herself, and will walk steadily through this cold, indifferent world.
