    [Sparrow's Masterpiece] A true female-centric novel. The female lead is calm, rational, and has strong moral values. She can love and let go easily, embodying many of the strengths of women. [Already Recommended] Unconventional and down-to-earth. The text isn't overly long, but the pace is fast and the plot is clear and concise. [Heart] Meng Junzi's life motto is just three words: Rely on yourself. 👩🏻‍🎓 From a top student in a small town to the youngest lecturer at Tiandu University, she carried the fervent expectations of her disabled adoptive parents, overcoming countless obstacles without ever taking chances. For her, love was an added bonus, not a lifeline. 👀 Therefore, when Lu Yunshen, a member of a top-tier wealthy family, entered her world, she accepted him gladly but never lost herself in the process. 🧩She continued to stay up late writing papers and desperately vying for projects; her brilliant mind and the future she had earned were always her goals! ✈️Until she discovered the lingering shadow of his unrequited love and his wavering insecurity—Meng Junzi didn't hesitate to withdraw, block her, and cut ties cleanly. 🐚In her world, she could live without a man, but she wouldn't give up an inch on her own future. 🌎As she went abroad for further studies, she never expected that the man who had once disappointed her so deeply would, with a desperate attitude, try to chase after her as she left… 🚀Relying on yourself is confidence, but making you unable to catch up is skill.

    Not mindless wish fulfillment: If you're looking for a deep, thought-provoking novel, not just a typical wish-fulfillment story, then this is the book for you! It will give you a thrill, it will make you feel pain, and ultimately, it will leave you with a lasting impression. Pacing: The author is a master of pacing. Just when you think the female lead is about to give up, they'll throw you in a plot twist or a sweet moment, keeping you hooked and wanting more! World-building: From personal revenge to the launch of the "Spider Web," and then to transnational financial maneuvering, the world-building unfolds step by step, becoming increasingly expansive and impactful as you read on! Heartbreaking moments: Friendly reminder, have tissues ready. Several secondary couples and supporting characters really hurt me, especially "Braking Knuckles" and "Nightingale"—my tears were practically worthless!
