    Clutching her acceptance letter, she went to the county town to register for school. In her spare time, she squatted in the wholesale market, tinkering with buttons and socks, using her modern aesthetic sense to select styles. In just half a month, she earned enough for her tuition. Seeing a recruitment notice from a township enterprise, she wrote a "cost reduction plan" overnight and submitted it, astonishing the factory manager who exclaimed, "This girl is a talent!" Watching those who once trampled on her now only able to watch enviously as she transformed from a street vendor into a business consultant, the exhilarating feeling of "the peasant you looked down on, now standing where you can't reach," mixed with the vibrant atmosphere of the 1990s, makes you clench your fists with every reading! I could read this rebirth story three times!

    Highly recommend this female-centric novel! The heroine has focused on her career for a thousand years, rising from cannon fodder to become a supreme being. Her romance revolves around four clingy sword spirits, once powerful figures who shook the three realms, now constantly doting on her: "Wherever you go," "Here's my sword," "I'm here for you." The system is also frantically trying to bring them together. Watch how this career-driven heroine handles these sweet troubles.
