An Ordinary American Beauty

[Story blurb] An ordinary English teacher from the twenty-first century transmigrates to Chicago, an industrial city at the end of the nineteenth century, where she becomes Caroline, a small-town girl who has just arrived in the city to make a living. Starting with nothing, Caroline finds her own path amid the clash between the new and the old. Along the way, she finds work worth striving for, friends who share her ideals, a beautiful romance, and a better version of herself. Many years later: "For the sake of your dreams?" Caroline Mibbo gives the reporter a charming smile. "To be honest, at first I was just an ordinary girl who wanted to earn enough to feed and clothe herself." [Special notes] 1. This is fan fiction based on Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie, in which the protagonist transmigrates into a book. It doesn't follow the original plot and features many original characters. You can enjoy it without having read the original. The classics belong to the original author; the bugs belong to the person typing this. 2. Some details are the author's own additions. 3. The male lead appears late and has little page time. 4. Please support the official version on Jinjiang Literature City. Even if we part ways, I hope we can do so on good terms. Thank you for stopping by, and thank you for reading. 5. Any updates are just to fix mistakes. Theme: The joy of working hard
