Description

Qiao Lin is the legitimate older sister, while Xu Yan is the younger sister born unexpectedly. This situation violated birth control policies in China. Xu Yan’s unplanned birth brought joy to Qiao Lin but caused their father to lose his job and their mother to be shamed by the community. Xu Yan herself became homeless, forced to live with their grandmother. The parents spent the better part of their lives petitioning against the unfair penalties for having an extra child, but their efforts were in vain, and they became a local laughingstock. Qiao Lin truly loved and protected her sister, but deep down, Xu Yan always coveted her sister’s role.
