Ensemble cast of women | Coming of age
They studied different subjects at university and somehow ended up in the same dorm room.
Though their personalities were worlds apart and they came from vastly different backgrounds, they became pretty good friends in the years after graduation.
-
Zhu Yu.
Brand director by day, public-account editor on the side.
The content she creates for her side gig is so niche that it doesn't make money and sometimes even costs her money. Her main job supports her side gig, but Zhu Yu has never considered giving it up.
Because niche doesn't mean there isn't an audience.
Zhu Yu has been in love a few times. She believes in love and believes it can happen to her, but she doesn't live for love. She lives for herself.
-
Lin Zhining.
Lawyer at a top-tier firm.
She had a love story that others envied, but the man she'd been with for years still cheated on her, just as she found out she was pregnant.
Lin Zhining can't tolerate the slightest betrayal, and decisively sent him packing with nothing.
Tan Huizhou, a partner at the firm, learns that Lin Zhining is divorced and realizes his chance has come.
He pursues her, only to be mercilessly rejected. "Counsel Tan, are you that eager to be someone's stepfather?"
-
Ye Nanxin.
At first, she was just an ordinary girl, from an ordinary family, in an ordinary relationship, living an ordinary life and doing an ordinary job.
Later, she worked hard to upgrade her life from "ordinary" to "pretty good," then gave it everything she had, using connections and every means at her disposal to keep climbing until she finally reached the highest point she could attain.
At forty, looking back on her life, Ye Nanxin simply says, "It was nothing special."
-
Si Yin.
A practitioner of "enjoy the moment, experience everything," with a mindset far ahead of her time.
When she encounters a boss who only knows how to psychologically manipulate people, she quits. She won't put up with a useless manager.
When a colleague goes crazy at her, she goes crazy right back. It's not like she's the only one who's never done this before.
When a man pursues her, she avoids him. Romance makes you stupid, and wise people stay out of love.
But she forgets that she's a sucker who keeps making the same mistakes.
Zhu Yu, Lin Zhining, Ye Nanxin, Si Yin.
One day in their forties, they suddenly remember who they were when they were young. They look at one another and smile calmly.
On the way back, they can't help reflecting: "Life is a real pain in the ass. But those women? They're pretty great."
○ Each has a canon partner, but romance is the least important thing in their lives.
○ Readers who are strict about sexual purity, please proceed with caution. Whether a character is a virgin is not what this story is about.
○ The characters are no saints. Readers with high moral standards, please proceed with caution.
○ A long story. There is simply too much the author wants to express.
