Fate plays tricks on people, and to describe Li Huiru at this moment, nothing could be more fitting.
Just a day ago, she was still seated in an elegantly decorated restaurant, using exquisite tableware, enjoying a variety of delicacies prepared by a professional chef.
And now she can only huddle in the dark corner of a villa's living room, eating plain steamed buns with a taste of soda ash, accompanied by a few dollars' worth of cheap pickled vegetables.
Undeniably miserable. But for Li Huiru herself, she had no complaints about it. On the contrary, she felt a kind of peace and satisfaction she had never experienced before.
This peace and satisfaction were something that the branded bags and luxury jewelry she pursued in the past could never give her.
She took bite after bite, chewing the steamed buns carefully, as if she were savoring the most delicious food in the world.
With each chew, she seemed to taste the hardships and inconveniences of life.
