The heroine Josephine is full of stories from the twelfth century and lives a life of chicken feathers. In the face of the elegant and beautiful radiant sister Elise, the mother is not painful, the daughter is disrespectful, and the unemployed husband Antoine has no interest in his clumsy academic yellow-faced wife, and even takes the young mistress to Africa to raise crocodiles and leaves a bunch of debts.
In the end, Josephine relied on her own knowledge and ability to repay her husband's debts, get love, publish books, and realize the value of her life.
"She never imagined that she could cry so with dignity... She said goodbye to her former self and said goodbye to herself with tears. Underneath the hard shell, there is always a weakness that fuels the germination of fragility, and that is the yellow eyes of the crocodile. There are always some people in life who live carefully, pay for the people they love, indulge those people to get benefits from themselves, do not know and are incapable of protecting themselves, and allow those people to bully and hurt themselves with love and responsibility or for any reason...
If you've ever stood at an unprecedented low point in your life, like Josephine, you'll cherish the courage that this novel brings.

The characters In tonio, Elise, Josephine's mother, and many others have this greedy desire. They are so ambitious, with lofty goals and huge ambitions, they boast in front of the media, pretending to be able to deceive themselves, hide from the public, and get praise from the outside world.
But I never thought that this was just the yellow eyes of a seemingly safe crocodile. Until the crocodile attacked, they were all swallowed up by their own greed. Elise is discredited, her husband and son have left her, her mother has been calculated for her vanity, and Tonio slowly walks to the crocodile pool...
When we were young, we had a lot of options. Don't test human nature, interpret human nature, don't be too obsessed, don't be too greedy, seize the opportunity, then there will be infinite possibilities.
