    This book doesn't have any overpowered plot devices; it mainly focuses on the gentle, everyday life of a family.

After graduating high school, she found a job at a supply and marketing cooperative, and didn't suddenly rise to prominence after meeting a leader. She followed the trends of the times, took the college entrance exam, opened a shop, bought a house, and became wealthy. There's not much romance.
