Us, Ten Years Later

Three women who graduated from the law school of a second-tier college.

Ten years later.

One struggled tooth and nail to pass the bar exam and became a lawyer with no clients. Just when she finally met a benefactor, she wound up as his hard-to-define, hard-to-explain "lover." Is her career over before it even began...?

One is still dreaming of fairy-tale encounters with princes, weaving her way among all sorts of men and becoming a bona fide player. Is love simply not in the cards for her in this life? Is marriage out of reach...?

One is a junior civil servant unwilling to settle for a career capped at the bottom rung. She works diligently but never gets promoted, while her home life and work life are both a mess. Should she just head for the mountains to cultivate immortality and pray to Buddha...?

No. There's a long road ahead, and the outcome is still undecided. You and I could both be dark horses.

(My first attempt at a sweet romance. I'll take it seriously and finish it.)
