A warm, everyday story about a positive-minded first female lead building a business, plus a second female lead who is a beautiful, scheming woman marrying into a wealthy family, with plenty of drama.
Winners who claw their way up from the bottom without a golden finger must either be ruthless or hard-hearted.
Official blurb:
Zhao Xiangmei had been a servant in the Zhao household for more than a decade and had barely learned to read or write as a child.
Her younger half-sister looked down on her, and the people around her mocked her for being ugly and dull.
But fate is unpredictable. Amid turbulent times, the three women were forced to return to China in a pitiful state and began relying on relatives and friends for help.
She found a new job and made friends. She also saw the chance to live in a world where everyone was equal.
The tide of reform and opening-up surged toward her. With her sewing machine and a careful eye for clothing and style, she cautiously entered the marketplace.
The market changed in the blink of an eye, but she dared to take the lead. She never stopped learning or pushing forward, waiting for the moment when an opportunity finally arrived, so she could strike a decisive blow!
Her mother-in-law causing trouble? Her business partner betraying her? Please. She had crawled out of a pit of fire. What could be more brutal than fighting for a spot on a ship back to China back then?
She might look gentle, but she had no qualms about stepping over her competitors to climb higher.
Ten years later, the first people to get rich through daring business ventures began facing a more regulated market. Countless once-famous figures gradually faded into obscurity. With no all-knowing perspective to guide her, caught in the vortex of her times, what path would she choose?
Zhao Yanfang, born into wealth, never imagined that she could lose her entire family overnight and be sent back to a foreign land before she had time to accept reality.
She had known since childhood that the world was divided into ranks, and having once been a phoenix, how could she accept a life as a barnyard fowl?
Everyone said she was taking the wrong path, following an evil way, but she was determined to forge her own road. She was born a person, and she would find her own place.
She refused to believe that she wouldn’t make it. She would climb mountains of knives and plunge into seas of fire. She would betray others, but no one could betray her!
Her string of boyfriends and partners were merely stepping-stones on her way up. Ten years later, when she had reached the position she had dreamed of from the start, would she feel even the slightest regret?
Everyday-life focus, 1v1 romance with a light touch, told entirely from female characters’ perspectives. This story has no golden finger and no overpowering plot twists.
A slow-paced story, rich in the details of everyday life.
Theme: Life is about striving upward
Great author, you really dare to write! But still looking forward to it
Hahahahahaha I died laughing
Ahhhhh, there is still suspense
Very well written. I like to see this kind of unpretentious, down-to-earth attitude towards life that strives for a better life.
It would be perfect if there were fewer typos
Is the second female lead a psychopath?
Chapter 105 is in 1987, why is it back to 1986?
Was Tang Zhongfang's death an accident?
The author has read more than 100 chapters of your novel. I think the protagonist and supporting characters in your novel are very good in terms of logic and details. The storyline and character conflicts are also very strong. This is a very good article. I have been reading online articles for 15 years. As I grow older over the years, there are fewer and fewer articles suitable for my age and experience, so I hope many people will read your article. Then write more good works. I think the data of this article is really bad. I didn't even discover it until it was finished. It's a pity. A few personal opinions: 1. The article is a little difficult to read. I think the author can adjust this difficulty. The scene changes between the protagonist and the supporting role. Sometimes it takes a while to find out whether the article is about a sister or a younger sister. Maybe the author wants to leave more suspense. You can try the beginning to make it clearer. 2. I don't know if the author is from that era. Sometimes there are some small details and the wording feels a bit stiff or old (I can't describe this feeling clearly). I think this can be simplified. At least when we read Lu Xun, Mo Yan, or other more famous novels in Jinjiang, such as Gu~ novels, the TV series adapted from Yang Yang and Zheng Shuangxuan, which was a novel I read in 2012, still makes people feel very warm, and it is an unusual feeling. The author made this book very difficult and difficult to read. Do you know? It should be green, fat, red and thin. This article is a bit similar. But it feels a little more difficult than that. I wonder if you understand this feeling of a reader like me? In addition, I also think that this article is really suitable for adaptation into a TV series. I can try to get it with the editor. I hope that the following articles can be written better
Congratulations on the completion! This is actually the author's first book, so talented! The writing is smooth and the writing style is natural!!!
