The familiar voice of the eldest sister, Su Qingyao, came from the next courtyard: "Jinli! The new 'Falling Clouds Reflecting Snow' rouge is ready, come and try it!"
"I'm coming—" Su Jinli responded cheerfully. As she stood up, she caught a glimpse of a pomegranate blossom, peeked out from the wall outside the window. It was in full bloom. She suddenly remembered how a noblewoman had sourly criticized her for "not doing her job properly" at the poetry club. At the time, she had simply smiled and replied, "I'm determined to make this 'not doing my job properly' into something more than anyone else can achieve."
Now it seems she has truly lived up to her words. In a world filled with opportunities and challenges, she has relied on her talent and wisdom to write her own brilliant story, step by step. From a weak woman once belittled by her stepmother to a rising star in the business and literary worlds, she has taken every step with determination and strength. Her family and friends have always been by her side, offering support and encouragement. The road ahead may be full of twists and turns, but she firmly believes that with courage and determination, she will be able to create an even more brilliant life.
Over time, thanks to Boss Wang's meticulous management, "Jianghu Xiao" became an instant sensation upon its publication. The book's gripping plot was abuzz with discussion in the streets and alleys, and the legendary tale of the "Flying Fox" became a popular topic of conversation. Storytellers in teahouses, recounting captivating excerpts from "Jianghu Xiao," attracted large audiences, and their business flourished.
Su Jinli, however, remained unsatisfied, devoting herself wholeheartedly to the writing of "The Debt of a Dandy." She skillfully wove the absurdities of Lin Wenxuan and other aristocratic young men from the capital into a series of vivid and engaging stories, her writing filled with satire and ridicule of these dandy men. Throughout the writing process, Jiang Yan often offered her unique insights and ideas, and their exchanges became increasingly frequent, their feelings gradually intensifying.
Young Marquis Su, like a loyal guardian, kept a constant eye on his sister's activities. Whenever anyone questioned or slandered Su Jinli's work, he was always the first to rush to her defense without fear. His fearless demeanor made those with ill intentions afraid to provoke Su Jinli.
Eldest sister Su Qingyao continued to support Su Jinli. Not only did she take good care of Su Jinli in her daily life, she also often gave her advice. The various rouges she mixed not only became Su Jinli's favorite, but also spread among the women in the prime minister's residence, becoming a fashion.
In this warm and vibrant residence, everyone strives for their goals. Su Jinli's poetry club, fueled by her fame, attracts more talented women, enriching its activities. They recite poems, exchange ideas, and pursue their literary dreams together.
Meanwhile, life for Lin Wanyue and Lin Wenxuan grew increasingly difficult. After Lin Wanyue's plagiarism was exposed, she became completely infamous among the capital's literary circles, her former glory fading. Meanwhile, Lin Wenxuan, after his brothel account books were exposed, was not only severely reprimanded by his father but also became a laughingstock among the people of the capital. His former pride had vanished without a trace.
With the manuscript of "The Debt of a Dandy Man" completed, Su Jinli and Boss Wang reached another collaboration. This time, Boss Wang was full of confidence in the book and intensified its publicity efforts, not only distributing it in major bookstores in Beijing but also dispatching agents to neighboring cities. As expected, the book was an instant hit. Young ladies and wives across the capital rushed to buy it, some even forming long lines to get a copy of "The Debt of a Dandy Man."
Seeing her work so well-received, Su Jinli felt a surge of accomplishment. She knew all this was possible thanks to the support of her family and friends, as well as her own hard work and perseverance. In this bustling capital, she used her talent and wisdom to write her own legend, transforming her once "unprofessional" life into one truly enviable. Her relationship with Jiang Yan also blossomed in the process. Together, they envisioned a better future and prepared to walk hand in hand through every stage of life.
In this era filled with hope and challenges, Su Jinli shines like a brilliant star in the night sky, radiating her own unique light. Her story has become a beloved tale among the people of the capital, inspiring more women to bravely pursue their dreams and demonstrating female independence and self-reliance. And because of Su Jinli's radiance, the Prime Minister's Mansion has become even more warm and lively, a haven filled with love and dreams.
