[Not a Power Fantasy] [Growth-Oriented Protagonist] [Working Couple + Realistic Life] [Ensemble Cast + No System + No Pocket Dimension + No Transmigration + No Golden Finger]
At the dawn of the new millennium, a sweeping tide of change between the old and the new washed across the country. Countless villagers left their hometowns behind and headed to prosperous yet cold cities to make a living.
Twenty-year-old Liu Fengxia was one of the most ordinary among these countless migrant workers.
A little over a year earlier, her husband, Zhou Xianzong, had come to the city with his family to find work.
The twenty-two-year-old had put down roots alone at a construction site in an unfamiliar city. He worked tirelessly with nothing but his brute strength, enduring a whole year of wandering, lonely life at the site, all to earn a meager glimmer of hope for his family.
After spending a year back in the countryside, Liu Fengxia packed her hopes for a better life and her longing for her husband, said goodbye to her hometown, and set out for the city, eagerly anticipating their reunion and the start of a new life working side by side.
But the city had never been kind to newcomers from elsewhere.
There was no comfortable home, no stable place to settle. All Zhou Xianzong could offer her was the construction site's crude dormitory for couples.
A cramped, narrow prefab room shared by two working couples, with barely any space and no privacy, filled with the mixed smells of cooking and dust. This was the first stop in Liu Fengxia's life in the city.
