A top student transmigrates into a book: Reborn in the 90s and rises to prominence.

Shao Wanwan splashed cold water on her face and quickly washed it. "When a man loves you, of course he'll give you anything. But love is fluid, only a house is immovable, and only money in your bank account is truly valuable. You'll understand later. Just focus on making more money. Don't be silly and give all your boxing winnings to your family. Keep most of it. And if you don't know how to make money work for you, I can teach you how to invest once you've saved up a certain amount."

Jiang Liyan had never even heard of the word "investment".

Most of the people who come to her for boxing lessons are people with a little money.

But they only treat her as a coach, so naturally they won't tell her anything profound.

Jiang Zheyuan was the only male student she had mentored this year. They would talk to each other, but that was because they were old acquaintances. When they got together, they mostly reminisced about the past.

Shao Wanwan reshaped many of her perceptions.

After the humiliation of her failed blind date yesterday, Jiang Liyan felt utterly defeated and even contemplated suicide.

However, Shao Wanwan neither blamed her nor made fun of her, which made her feel respected.

The mountain she couldn't cross, even when she was full of strength, almost crushed her to death.

After thinking for a while, she finally spoke, "Wanwan, what should I do? Do I really have no other way out? I'm being driven to my death."

"It's not 1940 anymore, it's almost 1999. You... don't think about dying or anything like that, it's so unlucky. You have to live well, because you have everything as long as you're alive, and you have hope as long as you're alive."

You say the word "death" so easily because you don't have a sword hanging over your head that suggests you might die a horrible death, or that you don't know when or how.

That's what Shao Wanwan thought to herself.

If you had that, just thinking about the word "death" would make you feel incredibly unlucky.

“But I’m really… so tired. I don’t know where the road is anymore. My parents are forcing me to get married. I listened to them and went on blind dates, but those skinny, sickly men didn’t like me. They said that if a woman like me were brought home, she would be no good for a family. They said she would beat people to death, bring bad luck to them, and that I looked like a man and wouldn’t be able to have a son…” Jiang Liyan finished speaking, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Shao Wanwan knew that Jiang Liyan was already restraining herself; her original words must have been many times harsher.

But she is not a savior.

Only when Jiang Liyan wakes up on her own, and saves herself from dire straits once again, just as she resolutely learned boxing, will her life be different.

She sighed. "Have you ever thought that this city is too small, your hometown is too small, your village is too small, so it can't accommodate you? Go wherever you can be accommodated. The sky is high and the sea is wide, there will always be a place for you. When you are strong enough, they can only look up to you, and then you won't have to worry about being disliked anymore."

Hearing these words, Jiang Liyan felt as if someone had struck her on the forehead; it hurt, but it also brought her back to her senses.

Shao Wanwan is absolutely right. It might not be her fault that she can't accept herself; it's just that her capacity is too small. If she were to step out of her comfort zone, just like when she left Ga Village, which almost devoured her, wouldn't things be different?

“Going out is good, but don’t be impulsive. Bring enough money, go out and explore a few times first, find a foothold, think about what you want to do, and then go. With so many titles to back you up, you’ll definitely be fine. If you’ve thought it through, I can write you a letter of recommendation from the perspective of an employer. I will definitely think it through carefully and polish it for you.” Shao Wanwan stopped drying her hair, looked at Jiang Liyan through the gap in her hair, and said firmly.

Shao Wanwan's hair was still dripping wet when she suddenly felt a strong force coming towards her, and then Jiang Liyan tightly hugged her waist.

“I used to think you were just a pretty face, good-looking but not good enough for Zheyuan. I was wrong. He is so lucky to have met you. You are so gentle. Yesterday, weren’t you wiping my forehead? I woke up half asleep and saw you. I actually thought it was my mother, but my mother doesn’t want to talk to me anymore. She thinks I’m embarrassing… And you are so much prettier than my mother.”

Jiang Liyan's sorrowful expression faded, and her ability to organize her thoughts returned to its original state.

It turns out that extreme sadness can indeed make people so emotional that they exceed their level of cultural understanding.

When she's confiding in someone, she uses such a cool and witty way of speaking.

She got drunk yesterday and said that Jiang Zheyuan was driving up pork prices. She was too tired yesterday to laugh, but now she laughs so hard she can't stand up straight just thinking about it.

Jiang Zheyuan's expression upon hearing this was incredibly varied and quite amusing.

After drying her hair, Shao Wanwan felt much refreshed.

"If I leave, who will guarantee your safety?" Jiang Liyan knew that her contract would not expire until April, but she could not stay here any longer. Her parents, relatives, and extended family all disapproved of her and kept urging her to get married and forcing her to settle for someone else.

They're already planning to force her to marry a one-eyed hoodlum.

They felt that if she didn't get married, she would commit a capital offense, so the whole family conspired to trick her into going back to find a partner under various pretexts.

She couldn't bring herself to say these words to Shao Wanwan, because Shao Wanwan was, after all, someone her employer had asked her to protect. Even if they had become friends, she knew that what happened last night, during the contract period, was a huge dereliction of duty on her part.

It would be extremely unprofessional to fail to meet the time stipulated in the contract at this point.

Jiang Liyan didn't want this to happen; she was really in a difficult position.

She never expected that her family would suddenly pressure her to get married so relentlessly.

Shao Wanwan thought for a moment, "It's fine for me to live here alone. No one from the school is urging me to move back to the student dormitory, so I'll just stay here. There are security cameras at the entrance, so it's safer. If the school says it's against the rules, I'll just take the postgraduate entrance exam and become a graduate student. Then I can live here legitimately, right? Anyway, it's all the same path. You don't need to worry about me. If it really doesn't work out, I can find someone else. You just need to convince your employer."

Upon hearing the word "employer," Jiang Liyan slapped her forehead.

"Oh no! Zheyuan called at 12:30 pm to say he would pick you up for lunch. I told him you were still asleep. Then he asked when I woke up and when he called him. I've completely forgotten. Seriously, Zheyuan is going to kill me. He's really strict." Jiang Liyan spun around twice, clearly terrified of Jiang Zheyuan.

"When you meet later, you must say a few good words for me. I was already in a bad state yesterday because I was drunk. If I forget to pass on the message today, I'm really afraid that Zheyuan will hold a grudge against me. That kid is so cunning..." Jiang Liyan put her hands together and bowed earnestly to Shao Wanwan.
