“Good men don’t get good wives, and good women marry scoundrels.” This old saying has barged its way through our society, until at 11:11 a.m. on November 11, 2011, it suddenly struck a vicious blow against three “good girls” who had walked hand in hand through their youth.
Lin Xuan, the obedient “campus goddess,” had just given birth after defending her PhD in the United States when the devastating news that her rich husband’s stock investments had crashed sent her spiraling into ruin. Zhang Ting, the “modern-day Little Swallow,” had just escaped the clutches of a grade-A scumbag and had yet to enjoy married life with her handsome new German husband when a premarital medical report from the hospital sentenced her to death. Liu Xi, a well-known TV host who had nearly become one of Zhang Yimou’s leading ladies, had just escaped the clutches of a bunch of worldly, greasy middle-aged men. As she prepared a surprise birthday party for her boyfriend, she discovered that her devoted boyfriend had suddenly vanished without a trace.
The three good girls were baffled. What on earth had gone wrong? These days, gold diggers, fake sweethearts, and playboys could all redeem themselves and even become role models for modern women. So why had good girls instead fallen into hell?
A string of strange numbers quietly hinted at the truth. It seemed the only way to find it was to painstakingly trace every clue, all the way back to high school.
It was time to stand up for good girls, unravel the mystery, and launch a desperate counterattack!
