When she rose from the depths and was granted power by Tang Song, truly standing on a higher dimension built by ambition and ability, having fulfilled a certain desire within her.
Only then did she dare to truly face the darkest and most unwilling-to-admit corners deep within her heart.
In fact, she and Lin Muxue were the same kind of people.
Hidden beneath the surface was the same kind of stubborn inferiority and fear.
They used "beauty" and "success" as armor, using diligence and desire to resist fate's disdain inch by inch.
To this day, she can still vividly recall many scenes from her childhood.
She remembers her father's face filled with humble smiles as he was rudely driven out of his stall at the market;
She remembers her mother's back chasing the supplier to plead during a pouring rain to retrieve a meager debt, clutching the heavy vegetable basket;
She remembers more vividly the little girl curled up in the corner on a rainy night, listening to adults sigh.
