    This workplace novel is quite well-written and very immersive. From being manipulated and having your credit stolen to finally fighting back and taking on the entire industry, even the supporting characters are vividly portrayed. I've already read over 100 chapters.

    This is a book I really want to praise; it's exceptionally well-written, especially the portrayal of the female protagonist. She's incredibly independent and brave, not a delicate, fragile girl. As a doctor sent to Xinjiang for medical assistance, she doesn't back down even when facing dangerous situations. It's truly wonderful, and I highly recommend this book.
