Chen Xiaoyu  has been mistreated by her stepfather, who took advantage of her mother's submissive nature. Her half-sisters, raised in a more privileged environment, look down upon her, and her extended family sees her as a burden. Her father was an orphan, and Xiaoyu feels like she has inherited that same lonely fate. Having experienced neglect from an early age, she learned to fend for herself, relying on her resilience and inner strength. Now, at the age of 28, Xiaoyu has managed to stabilize her life. She is engaged to a man, Xi Ronghua, who is charming but a selfish, philandering businessman. Despite her growing unhappiness, Xiaoyu has learned to endure and compromise in the face of life's hardships.

But everything changes when a powerful and enigmatic man enters her life.

Zhang Jun, an overseas Chinese billionaire, returns to China with plans to take over the company where Xiaoyu works as the executive manager. Jun, who had been living in the United States for many years, is initially seen as a cold and calculating business magnate, but his connection to Xiaoyu deepens after a chance encounter. On impulse, he proposes marriage, though he never expected to follow through. However, Zhang Jun is not someone who does things without full commitment. As he begins to understand Xiaoyu's complex past and broken heart, he seeks to heal her wounds and show her a love she had never dared to imagine.

"Bridget Jones with a lot more wine! This story is hilarious, feel-good and relatable in all the best ways!" - Grace K @ HQ. She's just quit her high-flying job and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Can Alice find a sense of purpose in all the madness? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Forcing herself into action with a rash resignation, Alice sets out to make a positive impact on the world around her. But how? Meditation leads to napping and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that left her at loss of what to do! As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system--can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover? [*Wattpad Editor's Pick 2018*] [[word count: 70,000-80,000 words]] Readers say: "This had me laughing so loud that my sister came to check up on me to see if I'm OK!!!" "...the new Bridget Jones, a working woman's take on the digital age." About the Author: Working mother, annoying vegetarian and red wine enthusiast, Renee lives in Toronto with her flawed but wonderful family (seriously, who left socks on the kitchen counter?) in a flawed but wonderful house (what *is* that smell in the basement?).
