Lin Wan was born in a family that favored sons over daughters. She was neglected by her parents since she was a child, and all resources were given to her younger brother first. Her mother often said: "What's the point of reading so many books for a girl? Sooner or later she will get married." After the college entrance examination, Lin Wan was admitted to a key university with excellent results. However, due to family obstruction, she was forced to give up her studies and entered the society to work early to earn money for her younger brother's education.
In the cold reality, Lin Wan worked as a waiter, supermarket cashier, and factory assembly line worker, experiencing the ups and downs of life. However, a turn of fate came by chance. She met Su Qing, a coffee shop owner. Su Qing was attracted by Lin Wan's unwillingness to admit defeat. She not only taught her how to make coffee, but also encouraged her to learn business knowledge.
Lin Wan seemed to be grasping at the straw of life, busy in the coffee shop during the day and staying up late at night to study. Just when she was gradually seeing the light of life, her younger brother owed huge debts due to the failure of his business. Her parents passed all the pressure on her and asked her to go bankrupt to help her younger brother pay off the debts. At the same time, Lin Wan developed a relationship with Cheng Yu, a frequent customer of the coffee shop and a successful career. However, Cheng Yu's mother strongly opposed their relationship after learning about Lin Wan's family situation.
With the shackles of family ties on one side and the test of love on the other, coupled with the many crises she faced at the beginning of her career, Lin Wan struggled to move forward on a road full of thorns. Can she break away from the shackles of her original family, emerge from the cocoon and become a butterfly amidst the dual challenges of love and career, and let herself, the rose that grows in adversity, bloom brilliantly? A story about self-salvation and growth begins.
Concept: The core concept of "Broken Cocoon of Thorns and Roses" revolves around "women's self-salvation and life blooming in adversity"
