From Street Vendor Girl to Billionaire Empress

Humiliated in public by her director, who threw her designs on the floor, and dumped by her rich second-generation boyfriend with nothing but a supplementary bank card, Liu Xiaofei took the flawed brocade her grandmother had left her and returned to set up a stall at a night market in Nanning.

She knew nothing about the unspoken rules of the fashion world. All she knew was how to help plus-size girls dress beautifully.

From fleeing the city inspectors to walking a runway in the rain at West Lake; from being blacklisted by capital to reigning supreme at Paris Fashion Week.

When an international giant arrived with a ten-billion-yuan check to buy her out, she tore the contract to pieces. “I’m not good enough? You’re the one who isn’t good enough for ‘Shanhao.’”

This is a tale of triumph about fabric, dignity, and ambition.

Creating a suit of armor for the 99% of ordinary girls.
