Some people, after success, will vigorously publicize the previous ups and downs to highlight their inspirations; but some people are just the opposite. They will cover up the past and leave only their bright side.
For example, the world-famous fashion queen, Gabrielle Chanel.
From a lonely and nameless bastard daughter to a respected business overlord, Chanel's success cannot be replicated.
But why didn't she want everyone to know that she was sad before she became famous?
The reason is nothing more than that Chanel, who was born as an illegitimate daughter, has been a singer and a mistress; even when she has the heart to get married, her lover hates her for not being able to have children, leaving her to marry her!
Chanel, who was born as an illegitimate daughter, never easily trusted men
For a small trader, it is almost difficult to get the heart of a peasant girl who grew up in the mountains.

So, after the short love affair ended, the small vendor who drew a bunch of large cakes patted his ass and left, leaving the pregnant peasant girl secretly weeping.
Seeing that the maternity period was approaching day by day, the peasant girl who could not resist the gossip packed her bags and went to the town alone to find her lover.
On the speeding train, the pregnant woman was almost driven down. In the end, a doctor in the same car was distraught and sent the pregnant woman to his hospital.
Still
In the end, the woman who almost fainted gave birth to a baby girl, and this baby girl was Chanel.
After painstaking efforts to find a small trader, the woman thought that her good life was coming.
As everyone knows, looking at the women holding baby girls, the small traders have long lost their former affection. The two of them lived in confusion for a long time, and the small trader, who had no other choice, nodded and agreed to get married.
This year, Chanel was two years old.
The days that followed were boring and tedious. My father didn't have great ability, but his temper was not small. And the mother? In addition to crying, she complained that she was blind.
At the age of 11, her mother, who had died of illness, was relieved, leaving Chanel and her father to look at each other.
Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, his father, who was pursuing a new life, sent Chanel into the monastery. Through an iron gate, Chanel saw that her father's footsteps had become brisk.
From this time on, Chanel understood better than anyone that the only thing a person could rely on was himself.
As she grew older, Chanel transferred from the monastery to the church.
There, Chanel began to learn to read and fell in love with the novel La Traviata.
In a way, Chanel is the same as Traviata. They are unique, do not want to admit their fate, and are full of yearning for a new life.
With such a thought, Chanel "willingly degenerated".
Because she didn't want to be a nun, she went to the coffee shop to sell songs and became a singer. Of course, during the day, Chanel would also work in the tailor shop.
At that time, compared with the apprentices around her who had also not studied design, Chanel was extremely talented.
In her days as a singer, Chanel met a man who could change her destiny, a veteran named Etienne Palerson.
Etienne was conflicted, he liked Chanel's appearance, but he looked down on her origins.
So, although he crossed paths with Chanel, he did not recognize Chanel as his lover. As a result, Chanel became a joke in the eyes of everyone.
In this regard, Chanel, who did not believe in men, was even more aroused by wolf nature in her bones.
She relied on Aetian to enter high society and learn their social etiquette; at the same time, she continued to improve her aesthetic ability, dressing herself unique and eye-catching.
Countless lovers but never married, 87 years old lonely death
While being a lover to Aetian, Chanel met Carbo.
Compared to the arrogant Aetion, Carbo is gentle and considerate. More importantly, he never despised Chanel and always placed her on an equal footing with himself.
At that time, Chanel, who had become accustomed to prosperity, fell in The Pursuit of Carber.
In pursuit of a love affair, Chanel elopes with Carbos to Paris. Perhaps it is also a sentence: loss will be cherished. It turned out that Etienne had also chased Paris!
In order to fairly pursue Chanel, the two men competed to pay her money.
Unlike the short-sightedness of other mistresses, Chanel has always been an ambitious woman. She did not want luxury jewelry, but instead opened a hat shop with the financial support of two lovers.
With a unique aesthetic and talent, Chanel, who has simplified the complexity, has run her shop well.
During this time, Aetien quit, leaving Chanel and Carbord in love.
Not long after, however, Carboll died in a car accident, leaving Chanel with an inheritance of more than £1.3 million.
Some people say that the later Chanel logo is actually the abbreviation of her and Carbo's names.
With the money, Chanel opened her first clothing store, the prototype of her business empire.
The death of her lover greatly inspired Chanel's creation.
At that time, the black elegant little perfume coat swept through the Parisian fashion industry, allowing Chanel to have her own show.
The business empire continued to expand, and Chanel never had a shortage of lovers around her. During that time, Chanel met Duke Hanximine, who claimed to be the most handsome golden bachelor in Europe.
Relying on the Duke's connections, Chanel met many Hollywood tycoons and perfume designers.
It is also by virtue of this relationship that chanel five has become the favorite of countless actresses once it was released. Even now, this perfume is still a classic.
Some media said that Chanel at this time had the idea of marrying the duke.
But a deep ditch between the two was that Chanel, who had had a miscarriage, could not have children, but the duke needed a child to inherit his position.
So the Duke, while hiding chanel, married her.
After learning the truth, Chanel, who has become the godmother of fashion, wielded her sword and slashed the love thread, and since then she has devoted all her energy to her career.
In the years since, Chanel has had many lovers who have come and gone. But for her, those people were just a pastime in their leisure time.
Therefore, Chanel once said to a friend: I am a failure, and those who love me have left me.
After a brief complaint, Chanel put on her battle robe again and unleashed her talents in the world that originally belonged to men. Under her skillful hands, the classics are constantly reproduced.
Perhaps, some people say that Chanel is a false inspiration, because she made her career by being a mistress.
Looking at the problem from another perspective, she has never lost herself in the prosperity; on the contrary, she has always understood what she really wants.
Therefore, from illegitimate daughters, singers to fashion queens, Chanel's success is unique and legendary.
In her own words:
I'm high-class, I'm the classic, you can't afford Chanel, but never forget one of the most important clothes, this dress is called the ego.
In January 971, at the age of 87, Chanel died. There are countless lovers, but they have never been married in their lives, and they are still alone when they are old.
Such Chanel is full of emotions. Because, for her, the spiritual world is full enough, and the soul has been freed. And that's enough.
