Chapter 1: Three Years after the Divorce

“Sorry, but we don’t hire women over 30 here,” the restaurant manager told Xia Xinghe impatiently as he shooed her away.

As Xinghe walked away listlessly, she overheard the manager mumble under his breath, “Who would want to patronize my business if I have an old and ugly waitress?”

Emaciated frame, dry hair, wrinkled face and outdated apparel had added at least 10 years to her appearance.

Even though she was really only 25!

Xinghe smiled bitterly as hardships from the last few years swamped her mind. As she dragged her tired body away from the spot, she noticed a car pull up behind her.
