    # Highly Recommended for Book Suffering🔥Realistic Era Heroine | "Spring Breeze in Winter" Who understands! Tired of rebirth with golden fingers and mindless face-slapping wish-fulfillment novels? I've found this down-to-earth Shanghai-style entrepreneurial novel! 😭 Set in a Shanghai alleyway in the 1990s, the protagonist, Xu Chunfeng, grew up in the mire of male chauvinism. Her uncle's family constantly exploited her, her mother favored her younger brother, and one hardship after another plagued her family. On the day of her college entrance exam, she missed the exam to save her best friend, shattering her dream of going to university💔 She sadly parted ways with her childhood sweetheart, Li Dongdong, her youthful love defeated by reality. Starting as a saleswoman in a clothing store, she rose step by step into the foreign trade industry; then she encountered her mother being scammed and incurring huge debts, losing all her savings in the financial crisis, and being cheated out of her job by her own uncle, experiencing several setbacks in her life. There were no cheat codes, no lucky breaks, she gritted her teeth and endured all the hardships✨ After awakening, she no longer compromised and tolerated, breaking free from the shackles of her original family. Seizing the opportunities of the times, she and her partner embark on a cross-border e-commerce business in apparel. Leveraging the Belt and Road Initiative, they sell Chinese-made clothing overseas, resisting malicious suppression from foreign capital and becoming dazzling female entrepreneurs. The twenty-year love-hate relationship between childhood sweethearts is incredibly touching! The male lead isn't a domineering CEO; he's an ordinary person who grew up following the rules, defying societal norms for love, giving up high-paying jobs and stock options to endure hardship alongside the female lead. Their mutual devotion, long-awaited reunion, and enduring love are anything but artificial. The book depicts the wave of layoffs, alleyway demolitions, the rise of foreign trade, and the internet revolution, brimming with the atmosphere of the era. Family entanglements, reconciliation, female empowerment, and the everyday realities of life are all vividly portrayed. The characters are lively, with both pain and warmth, and the story has a powerful impact! ✅ No rebirth | No system | Realistic | Female growth | Urban entrepreneurship | Historical setting | Childhood sweetheart reunion.

Paula opened a large grocery bag in front of her. This was the groceries she'd braved the downpour to buy at a nearby supermarket. It contained lamb, seafood, vegetables, and drinks—everything she needed. Paula's mother pulled out various kitchen utensils and stainless steel bowls from a small door next to the counter. That was her little kitchen, where she usually ate her meals. The three of them chatted about everyday life while washing vegetables and chopping meat. Paula had always been a top student, mastering four languages ​​by high school. However, due to her personality, she was always a loner and hadn't made many friends. Although she lacked playmates, she had more time to study, and thus, she effortlessly received an acceptance letter from Seohong University. Soo-yeon was different. She was cute and cheerful, and her greatest strength since childhood was making friends. However, her academic performance could never keep up with her older sister, who was a top student. Therefore, although she constantly talked about wanting to go to the same school as Bora, a deep-seated inferiority complex kept reminding her, "You can't do it." In reality, her carefree attitude was just a facade of optimism. A person's personality and image always influence how others perceive them. For example, if you consistently appear worried, you'll receive more concern. Soo-yeon, on the other hand, received more reassurance. "It's okay, Soo-yeon is optimistic. She'll get back up when she falls." "It's okay, Soo-yeon is cheerful. She'll adjust her mindset." "It's okay, Soo-yeon is such a carefree person, she won't hold grudges." "It's okay..." Actually, it was okay. She also wanted more care; she wanted people to know that she could also feel sadness and pain. Watching her mother constantly question Bora's life and studies, Soo-yeon felt like she was invisible. "Mom, you don't even ask me anything, you only ask Bora..." Soo-yeon felt a little wronged. "Oh dear~ What's the big deal? You're not like Paula who only comes back once in a while." Paula's mother looked her daughter up and down, wondering what was wrong with her today. "You didn't ask me anything when Paula wasn't here!" "Sung Soo-yeon! What's wrong with you today?!" Paula stood up and shouted at her sister. At this moment, Lin Xia and the others came down the stairs, intending to greet them, when they bumped into this scene. "Auntie, what's wrong?" Zhang Xin asked. Soo-yeon saw the group coming down and quickly turned her head away, secretly wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but Lin Xia still saw it. "Auntie~ We've come to help!" Jiang Ye smiled and broke the awkward atmosphere, rolling up his long sleeves and joining the team skewering meat. "Oh~ No need for your help, just come and eat after we're done~" Paula's mother said, pushing and shoving. Paula also sat down, silently fiddling with the freshly washed lettuce in her hands. "You guys go ahead and do your work, I'll go out and see if the rain is still heavy." Lin Xia saw that the coffee table was already full of people, so she went outside. The rain lessened, becoming almost negligible. Xiuyan watched as Lin Xia carried the grill towards the beach. She greeted the others and went out to help. Carrying a small bag of coal, Xiuyan followed behind Lin Xia without saying a word. "Xiuyan!" Lin Xia said with a smile, "This isn't like you!" "Why?" Xiuyan asked. "Normally, you'd call him 'Lin Xia-ge'! 'I'm here to help you~'" "Hmm... I guess so," Xiuyan replied softly. "Hey! Isn't that a coincidence?" "What's so coincidental?" "The Xiuyan I saw in my dream was just like that too, seemingly cheerful and lively," Lin Xia turned around, "but actually she's a very fragile girl inside." "What do you mean?!" Xiuyan hurriedly ran to catch up with Lin Xia, "I, Cheng Xiuyan, am not fragile~!" "Then are you a strong crybaby?" "I! No! I am!" Lin Xia placed the grill on the table next to the beach chair and said, "The Xiuyan I know, although she always has a smile on her face, is also someone who needs care and love~" "Phew~ This grill is really heavy." Lin Xia clapped her hands, looking at Xiuyan who was bowing her head and remaining silent. "Look!" Lin Xia took out a candy from her shirt pocket. "This was given to me by a little girl a long time ago." Lin Xia handed the candy to Xiuyan, "Do you know? When she left, she kept turning back to wave goodbye to me." "At that time, I collapsed on the roadside because of low blood sugar." Xiuyan seemed a little anxious when she heard that she had collapsed, and was about to ask a question when Lin Xia continued. "So, this isn't candy, it's the care that stranger showed me, and it's very precious to me." Lin Xia squeezed Xiuyan's outstretched hand. "Keep this for me. Looking at it when you're sad really cheers you up! I've tried it myself!" Xiuyan looked at the colorful candies in the transparent bag, her eyes welling up with tears. "The Xiuyan I know is a real glutton! You have to resist and not eat it!" Xiuyan chuckled, "I'm a glutton too..." Wiping her eyes, Xiuyan placed her hands on her chest, clutching the candies tightly. "Mmm! Brother Lin Xia, I promise I won't eat it!" Lin Xia looked at her; sometimes a white lie can comfort those in need. "Come on, let's light the charcoal first. We can eat as much as we want later!" "Okay!"
