    From as far back as I can remember, all the good things in the family—food, favoritism, and face—were reserved for the two sons. All I was left with were endless chores, ceaseless forbearance, and grievances. Mealtimes as a child are a shadow that will haunt me for life. At the low square table, my parents sat at either end, my older brother and younger brother occupied the sides, while I was always huddled in the corner. Rare dishes like stewed meat, fried eggs, and fried fish were piled high into my brothers' bowls. My brother would casually reach for some food, and my parents would smile broadly, saying, "Eat more, my son needs to grow." My older brother would be picky, spitting out anything he didn't like, and the family wouldn't scold him, patiently coaxing him. Even when I reached for a bite, my brother would slap my chopsticks with a loud "crack," sending them flying from my hand. In this family, good things were never for me. My brother bullied me, and my younger brother often argued and shoved me. One time, my older brother hit me, and my mouth swelled up so badly...

    I really enjoy harem novels and have read quite a few myself. I can only say that these particular harem novels are all very good, mainly because they have rich emotional storylines and vivid characters. They're not the mindless romance type; they have emotional depth and are definitely worth reading.

    Title: Middle-Aged Working Professionals: Not Afraid of Hardship, But Fearful of Unpredictable Human Nature. Middle-aged people leave home to earn a living, enduring 12-hour shifts and harsh weather. They thought working professionals would understand each other, but the most hurtful thing isn't the physical exhaustion, but the colleagues who bully honest people with a little power. They just want to work quietly and earn a living, but are unjustly harassed, leaving them to secretly shed tears at night. The breakdown of middle-aged people is often not due to their inability to endure hardship, but rather the inescapable malice of the workplace. This is a short story I wrote about middle-aged working professionals trapped in the quagmire of the workplace. Have you encountered any workplace bullies on your working journey?
