Their World of Fame and Fortune

Shanghai in 2012 was a golden age of unsettled rules, booming opportunities, and rampant chaos. Beauty bought opportunity, traffic bought wealth, and family background bought privilege. Four girls from entirely different backgrounds plunged headfirst into this world of fame and fortune. Zhou Yinuo was born at the finish line, yet insisted on starting from the bottom. Lin Qiao seized the boom and rose to the top overnight. A Lu entered the game with her beauty, making one choice after another between love and social status. Xiaomi had nothing, and began learning the rules of this world as a clothing assistant. They went from confidantes to rivals, relying on one another, competing, and using each other in turn. Then, as the tide of the times receded in 2026, one fell from grace, one took a seat at the table, one was locked in a gilded cage, and another finally admitted that there had always been a way out. The cruelest thing about the world of fame and fortune isn't that some people win while others lose. It's that after getting everything you wanted, you might no longer recognize yourself.
