Features: After moving to the city, the working girl Joey is determined to make it big. She uses her beauty and intelligence to maneuver between men, aiming to join the white-collar and golden-collar elite. Influenced by two golden-collar women in the foggy city, Joey becomes convinced that in this era, a woman's charm is limited, while power is boundless. Women should be like men—seeking power rather than charm, and power must be achieved through their own economic strength. However, Joey still carries the rustic simplicity of the countryside, which becomes a constraint in her journey. In the end, she is pushed out of the golden-collar elite by the men, and one winter morning, the people of the foggy city learn of a news report about a working girl's failed suicide attempt. Joey's concise and brisk narration allows you to enjoy the story while gaining insight into the thrilling and heart-stirring lives of city white-collar and golden-collar professionals.
