Zhang Youyi woke up from the cold floor and found herself back in Shaxton in the winter of 1921.
Outside the window was the British winter fog, with a three-month-old child in her belly, and in front of her was the man who was about to say, "Abort the child." In her previous life, she cried, begged, and endured, only to receive a divorce agreement and the sad news that her youngest son had died. In this life, she only did one thing.
"The daughter of the Zhang family is not something you can throw away if you want. How and when to leave - I will decide."
From Shaxton to Berlin, from bank teller to general manager Yunshang, from a despised old-style wife to the youngest female banker in Shanghai. With her past life memories, she carves her way through the cracks of time. Improved cheongsam, women's bank, wartime winter clothes - every step she took was ahead of history, and every choice she made rewrote destiny.
"I've never done anything earth-shattering in my life. I just don't want to accept my fate."
