The author's other novel, "Writing Fiction in Xiangjiang [Period]," is currently being serialized!

In her previous life, Zhai Wen's mother was exploited all her life by her own family, who favored sons over daughters.

Before her mother was even tall enough to reach the stove, she had to stand on a stool to cook for the whole family.

After graduating from elementary school, her mother dropped out to work. Every penny she earned had to go home to support the family's precious son.

When the precious son was in middle school, her mother even had to go to his school to wash his clothes and bedsheets.

But her sacrifices never earned so much as a word of thanks from him or a single word of praise from her parents.

She didn't even receive the most basic respect.

They exploited her, yet looked down on her.

By a twist of fate, Zhai Wen transmigrates back to the winter of 1970 and becomes her mother's younger sister.

Zhai Wen sees with her own eyes how her mother's family brainwashed and exploited her from childhood.

From the moment her mother was born, the elders had already written a script for her, meant to turn her into a useful pack animal.

In a fit of anger, Zhai Wen tears the script to pieces.

I'm here, Mom. This time, you only have to live for yourself!

You'll have a brand-new future, full of light.

The author's other novel, "Writing Fiction in Xiangjiang [Period]," is currently being serialized.

Yan Shaowei transmigrates to Xiangjiang in the 1940s.

She has no money, is living on the streets, and has two burdensome dependents following her around.

In her previous life, Yan Shaowei was a celebrated online novelist. Storytelling is the only thing she knows how to do.

She takes her bowl and becomes a street storyteller, filling her belly by telling tales.

Later, she returns to her old trade, writing novels, working as a screenwriter, and making films.

Soon, the people of Xiangjiang discover a writer whose stories are always a delight to read in the papers.

At the same time, they discover that a certain opera troupe has a genius screenwriter.

That year, with her formidable writing skills, Yan Shaowei creates an optimistic and resilient orphan in her new novel, "The Story of Gou Wa," bringing Xiangjiang's readers to tears.

Her book is adapted into a radio drama, retold by street storytellers, and even made into a stage play...

That year, Yan Shaowei's play "The Substitute Bride" makes an opera troupe that could barely sell tickets and was on the verge of disbanding an overnight sensation across Xiangjiang.

A theater critic is utterly impressed: "It's as if she used a pair of scissors to cut away the dross from traditional opera with pinpoint precision. What incredible insight! What daring!"

That year, the film Yan Shaowei writes and directs herself breaks out of Xiangjiang, then Asia, and reaches the whole world.

A famous European director watches it and wishes he could become her student: "The approaches we're still feeling our way toward, the techniques we're still exploring, she's already mastered them completely!"

P.S.:

1. The main focus is on her career.

2. I don't write historical figures or real events. This is entirely fictional, entirely fictional, entirely fictional.

3. The protagonist's name comes from the line, "A three-foot sword in its case, the Shaowei star in the sky."

Theme: Wherever there's oppression, there's resistance.
