Heading South in the 1990S: I Dumped the Jerk and the Factory Director Spoiled Me

[Workplace Romance + Feel-Good Revenge + Factory Romance] During the wave of workers heading south in the 1990s, Jiang Chacha, the star performer of her local cultural troupe, fell for its leader, Dachunzi. Defying her family's objections, she gave up her secure job and eloped with him to Guangcheng to make a living. She thought their love was mutual, unaware that Dachunzi had never truly loved her. From the moment they met, he had coveted her looks and hoped to climb the social ladder through marriage. They both took jobs at the Lin Youfu Hotel. Jiang Chacha moved into the staff dormitory, where her clothes were stolen and her wages went missing. Then her roommates conspired against her, making her spill soup on a VIP while serving a meal. She was promptly fired. Desperate, Jiang Chacha overheard the truth through the wall: Dachunzi had orchestrated all the bullying and her dismissal. He had bribed her roommates to clear the way for him to marry the hotel owner's only daughter and join her wealthy family. Just as she was about to confront him, Shen Junmo, a regular diner at the hotel, stopped her. The heir to a plastics factory, posing as an ordinary sales manager, he saw through the plot and carefully guided her toward protecting herself and getting out. He also found her a stable job at his factory. Once Jiang Chacha saw her scumbag ex for what he was, she cut ties with him. Under Shen Junmo's gentle care, she fell in love with him. On their wedding day, she finally learned her beloved's true family background and realized he had been quietly looking out for her all along. Meanwhile, after marrying into his wife's family, Dachunzi was treated with contempt by his in-laws and finally came to his senses. When he ran into Jiang Chacha, whose fingertips were stained with machine oil, he assumed she was struggling to make ends meet and arrogantly invited her to be his mistress. Shen Junmo exposed who he was with a single remark. Greedy for credit, Dachunzi had lost the chance at genuine love, and spent the rest of his life trapped in a cage of his own ambition.
