Jiang Ning came from a county town. Her father was paralyzed, and her mother had worked herself hunched over at a textile mill.
A school board member's relative stole her scholarship. Standing outside the office, she heard them laugh, "What can a poor kid like you possibly compete with us over?"
In that moment, she understood.
In this world, morality was a shackle for the weak, and money was an anesthetic for the poor.
She would become wicked, become beautiful, and become so rich that everyone who looked down on her would have to kneel and see her anew.
After that, she earned her first fortune through men.
She made purity and smiles her cheapest weapons, using a flawless face and a ruthless heart to get herself to South Korea.
Heirs to powerful conglomerates, top-tier stars, master plastic surgeons, brokers in the shadowy world of capital...
Every man thought he was the hunter. In the end, each became prey on her plate.
She used them as stepping-stones, climbing higher one rung at a time: earning, scaling, acquiring, and going public.
After returning home, the cosmetics group she built rang the opening bell on the stock exchange.
The media called her "the nation's leading businesswoman."
Her rivals called her "a gold digger who climbed to the top on men's backs."
