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.
