Jin Mai's life lost its color a long time ago.
Her original family was a quagmire she couldn't get rid of. Her father was a gambler and was in debt; her mother even regarded her as a shame.
She lost her childishness early and became proficient in making choices. Everyone said that she was cold-blooded and ruthless, but only she knew that her ruthlessness was forced out after being let down countless times.
On a rainy night, debt collectors came to the door, led by Song Zheng, the bookstore owner she met in the underground city.
Song Zheng's mother was seriously ill and had no choice but to join a debt collection organization disguised as a bookstore. She was covered in scars.
They had nothing in common before, they were just wandering lone stars.
In the bookstore, under dim lights, Song Zheng had just finished being beaten when he was blocked at the door by Jin Mai who wanted to buy a book.
"Boss, do you want to buy this book?"
"Five dollars."
Later, when he came to his father to collect debts, she just said lightly:
"Strike harder."
The world reviled her for being cold-blooded and selfish, but no one knew that she had no one to tell her the truth since she was a child, so she had no choice but to save herself.
Two children who were favored by no one hugged each other from the bottom. They didn't fall in love at first sight. They met in a desperate situation and spent the rest of their lives on a narrow road.
Wild wheat grows in the wasteland, against the wind.
Intention: Two people who lack love and are broken do not rely on saving each other, but live side by side and belong to each other.
