Lin Wan, a logistics worker at a 1990s state-owned enterprise, was known as the "doormat"—she took on extra work for colleagues, covered debts for relatives, and even agreed to take the blame for her leader's daughter. Until one night, she was locked in the warehouse after overtime, watching her three-year dowry savings get ruined by a leak. That's when she snapped: "I'm done being a people-pleaser!" She refused to take the blame, handing over the leader's violation evidence to the discipline inspection; she turned down colleagues' unreasonable requests and took on the risky restructuring project; she even rejected the ambiguous advances of her long-time crush, seeing through his selfishness. But surprisingly, her life took off after these refusals: the returnee entrepreneur she saved years ago came to collaborate with her; her cold neighbor Shen Yue turned out to be a hidden restructuring consultant; even her previously disdainful mother-in-law apologized. When she learned to "refuse properly," the sincerity she'd ignored and the opportunities she'd missed all came back—doubled.
