Looking back on Lin Xiang's short thirty-six years, hardship accompanied her every step as she grew and earned honors.
Her frail, frequently ill mother died when she was eight. When Lin Xiang was twenty, her father passed away from a serious illness brought on by years of overwork.
With no one to rely on, Lin Xiang threw herself into her career. She began making a name for herself in her field, earned her first pot of gold, and accumulated more and more wealth. But she wasn't happy.
When she opened her eyes again, it was 1992.
She was seven that year.
Lin Xiang wrote down her wishes in a little notebook.
One: Get her parents a proper wedding portrait.
Two: Earn enough money to take her mother to the city for treatment.
Three: And... make sure to tell her parents that she loves them.
Given another chance, she not only wants to make them proud, but also keep them safe.
Second blurb:
It was drizzling the day young Jiang Cheng returned from the big city to visit his family. As he walked along the muddy dirt road, he met a girl covered in mud. He couldn't make out her face, but he remembered her laughter, clear as silver bells.
Later, Lin Xiang took her mother to the city for treatment. The small inn they stayed at just happened to belong to the Jiang family...
After Jiang Cheng came of age, relatives and friends eagerly tried to set him up on blind dates, but he firmly refused to look for love that way. Everyone got turned down and waited eagerly to see what kind of woman he'd end up with.
The day Jiang Cheng brought Lin Xiang home, she was tanned dark from days spent surveying the land under the blazing sun.
The neighbors assumed he'd found himself an illiterate country girl who couldn't do anything...
Until a neighbor's granddaughter came home from university in the city. "What are you talking about? She's a famous architectural designer known all over the country!"
