On the day she left the company, Jiang Ran made a decision everyone thought was crazy: she was going to write novels. Her friends said she was dreaming, her former boss said she wouldn’t last long, and even her own mother advised her to give it up and go back to work.

She minded the shop by day and wrote by night. Then, overnight, she went viral.
One hundred thousand, one million, five million followers. Her numbers skyrocketed, and the whole internet shared her work.
