Cinderella in the Modern World

I have a friend who’s the kind of woman people call a "green tea bitch" – yet she doesn’t feel ashamed of it at all; instead, she takes pride in the label.

She’s hit on every wealthy boyfriend of all our mutual female friends, and in the end, she married the rich father of one of those guys.

In the blink of an eye, she became a lady in the wealthy social circle.

Her go-to line is always: "I’d rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bicycle."

……

My name is Jane Cooper, and I’m twenty-four years old. Right now, I have two options in front of me: one is to become a wealthy lady directly like my friend, another is to be the daughter-in-law of a wealthy lady. Actually, there’s a third option – to fight my way up slowly in this big city, step by step.

But that third option has never been on my radar, not even for a second.

I know all too well that as an ordinary girl from a small town, if I start from the bottom relying solely on my own abilities, I might never climb to the top of the social pyramid.
