    The heroine of period novels is full of pleasure from this book! In the 1990s, the heroine was cornered by her scumbag husband and ran away overnight. On the way, she met Uncle Jinshan, who had returned to China to invest. The uncle helped her escape from the clutches of the devil, and she followed him to make money and start a business in Guangzhou, and was reborn. There is no bloody rivalry, only the uncle's doting and the heroine's counterattack, the more I watch, the more I get excited!
