Growth

Su Yun was born in a county-level city. From a young age, she lived with her grandparents alongside her half-sister, Su Yan, who was four years older. To the adults, Su Yun was a sensible, obedient good girl, while Su Yan became a negative example because of her poor grades and habit of talking back to her elders. With limited resources that had to be shared between them, the sisters inevitably found themselves competing, often without realizing it. Su Yun received more resources because she was compliant, but she also took on all the expectations and pressure. Neither sister was happy in her own way. A few years later, Su Yan was taken away by her birth mother. As time passed, the sisters' lives went in different directions.
