Five Men and Two Marriages

She came from a mountain village called Liaohuagou.

She had spent several years on Wuyi Road.

Everyone in Nancheng knew what went on along that street.

When people asked what she did for a living, she smiled but didn't answer.

Her whole life had been ruined by those two words: “someone to lean on.”

She went from one man to the next, not because she was fickle, but because she wanted a home so badly. Some people said she had no self-respect, but she never explained.

She always said, “I just wanted someone to lean on so badly.”

This is Shu Hexiang's story, a slow-burn novel.
