After her parents died unexpectedly, Xu Sui was left with no choice but to depend on her uncle's family. Her harsh aunt never stopped exploiting her, and, to get a bride price, even planned to force her into marrying someone else. Her cousin bullied her at every turn, while her timid uncle did nothing but try to smooth things over. That little courtyard held nothing but scheming, without even a trace of warmth. Was she really going to let others control her and stumble through the rest of her life? Xu Sui refused to accept her fate. She climbed over the wall and escaped in the dead of night, clutching the meager savings she had left, and plunged into the surging tide of the 1980s. She avoided traps, seized the opportunities of the era, and relied on no one's charity, carving out a way to survive with her own two hands. One day, the people who had bullied and schemed against her would have to look up at her dazzling brilliance.
