It also points out that the life of a noble lady in a deep house is "gold and jade on the outside, and ruins on the inside" and redefines the noble woman. Real Girls Help Girls, a female mutual help article, the heroine is not purely kind-hearted to help others, but a value exchange. The characters are not purely bad, they are all the result of their own considerations. Finally, the second female protagonist wakes up to the fact that mutual help between the female protagonists is actually an exchange of value. When the female protagonist grows up, she can take care of herself alone, and if she is successful, she can help the world. At the same time, the second heroine also knows that she cannot live solely for the interests of her family, and ends up having a business alliance with the heroine, rather than being friends in the worldly sense. The minor characters all have their own lives, and they are not purely serving the protagonist. It is a story about rebirth, revenge, business, and a dark heroine with a slow pace and a heart-breaking plot. Note: Since I don't know how to write about daily love affairs, the male protagonist appears less. It is still being serialized. Please give it a try. As you read it, if you have any suggestions, I will listen to them.

Reader note

It's not a very cool novel. Female boss + Gao Linghua + A group of friends and family + A strong growth-oriented story + A bit of mental retardation + Soul-traveling. The heroine is a mercenary boss, a good-for-nothing young prince who has a soul-transportation, her father died young, and her mother is an orphan. She has been bullied and broken. The loser counterattacks step by step, punching his hot relatives and kicking his stupid classmates. In the early stage, the male protagonist is the flower of the high mountain. She is beautiful and does not bother her. In the later period, she spends money to seduce her. Today is another day when she wants to devote herself to Ah Zhen. The female protagonist makes a counterattack and beats up the sand sculpture. The male protagonist is dark and delicate and easy to push down. Non-traditional ancient proverb group portrait, a growth-type novel, not a heartthrob, not a Mary Sue. The opening is not happy and explosive. You don't rise to the top in one step, you don't get rich overnight. If you are bullied in one second, you will not be slapped back in the next. Just read it as an electronic pickled mustard sculpture.
