Summary

Qiu Ziyue is a graduate of Sun Yat-sen University's clinical medicine program in integrated Chinese and Western medicine, raised under the influence of her grandmother's medical practice. After a one-year internship, however, she concludes she is unsuited to being a doctor and insists on giving up a hospital job to enter sales. This decision enrages her father, Qiu Zhenhua; after a fierce quarrel she seeks refuge at her second sister's home late at night. Her career path in the big cities is hardly smooth: from interviews and onboarding to doing odd jobs and becoming a regular employee, she suffers cold stares, falls into traps repeatedly, and misplaces trust in her supervisor Zhou Quan, encountering client harassment at a client dinner that the client claims Zhou Quan tacitly permitted. She throws tea in protest, issues a harsh warning, and storms out. With her mentor's guidance and dealings with Zhang Yang and others, she struggles step by step toward workplace growth and emotional entanglement.

Editor's review

This is a brisk, short urban workplace novel. The opening family conflict is realistic and immersive, the setup of abandoning medicine for business invites discussion, and episodes such as workplace pitfalls and dinner crises are written bluntly and provocatively. It suits readers who enjoy heroines growing and making comebacks and can accept somewhat rough workplace details. Its weaknesses are short length, fast plot progression, limited depth in characterization and industry depiction, and thin buildup for the romance line.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Readers who enjoy urban workplace comeback stories
Readers who prefer heroines with independent growth arcs and light romance
Readers interested in real-world topics such as leaving medicine for a different field and mismatched majors
Readers who like short, fast-paced web novels they can finish in one sitting

Not a good fit for

Readers expecting a full-length novel with complex character arcs
Readers sensitive to or uncomfortable with scenes of drinking-business entertaining and workplace harassment
Readers who prefer pure sweet romance and slow, delicate emotional lines

Reading tips

Read the first three chapters to confirm you can accept the core setup of family conflict and leaving medicine, then decide whether to continue
Treat it as short-form entertainment rather than scrutinizing industry details, and focus on the heroine's workplace choices and growth
When reading scenes such as the dinner conflict, notice the author's critical perspective on hidden workplace rules rather than taking them as romanticized depiction

About the author

Yu Muyu Author

Yu Muyu is a Chinese author of online romance fiction, about whom limited public information is available. So far, only one work can be confirmed under the name: Gold Medal: Abandoning Medicine. Judging from the existing categories, the book falls under women's fiction and contemporary romance, a form of emotional storytelling aimed at female readers. With only this single work, it is difficult to form a complete picture of the author's writing. Even so, it is clear that Yu Muyu sets the story against modern urban life and builds it around emotional relationships; the phrase "abandoning medicine" in the title suggests themes of career choice and a turning point in life, interwoven with a romance plot. For readers who enjoy contemporary romance, this subject matter holds a certain appeal. Since the author's nationality, dates of birth and death, and personal background are not publicly known, this introduction makes no speculation and offers only an objective account of the author's writing direction based on the work and categories on record. Further characteristics of the author's writing will need to be supplemented once more works appear.
