The Little Dumpling They Found

When Jiang Mian was five, she was locked on a balcony in ten-degree-below-zero weather, burning with fever and starving, her new wounds layered over old ones.

The DNA report came that same day, sending her three older brothers and her brilliant scientist parents rushing to the hospital in a frenzy.

The precious girl they'd spent five years searching for, the one they'd cherished above all else, had been living in a seven-square-meter hell in an old building in the same city.

Eldest brother Jiang Yuheng: a cold-faced heir who canceled a billion-dollar acquisition just to take his little sister to dolphin therapy.

Second brother Jiang Yusen: a top-tier star who shaved his head on livestream and turned his concert for tens of thousands into a special show called "Don't Be Afraid, Little Sister."

Third brother Jiang Ye: an esports demon king who retired at the height of his career and used his prize money to build "Mian's Bright Home" for his little sister.

Mother Lin Xian, a celebrated actress: after getting her daughter back, she rewrote every line in her scripts to say, "My daughter is so adorable!"

Father Jiang Zhi, a scientist: he put a tracking chip in a hair clip, so he could locate her anywhere in the world and make sure she never got lost again.

But her scars wouldn't disappear overnight.

At night, the little one still hugged her pillow and hid in the closet.

In front of a camera, she instinctively put her plate on the floor to eat.

When someone asked, "Where are your mom and dad?" her eyes instantly reddened.

So the entire Jiang family began a long-term plan to "raise their little girl all over again."

The brothers vied to spoil her, her two brilliant parents gave her early education, and the whole internet watched like a crowd of doting aunties.

Sheltered behind the walls her brothers built around her, the little girl shouted for the first time, "I have a home!"

This is a story about a "lost little treasure finding her way home":

From covered in wounds to stars in her eyes;

From "Please don't hit me" to "Big Brother, hold me."

They lost five years with her. For the rest of their lives, they'll shower her with love a million times over, until she grows into the girl who should always have been cherished in the palm of their hands.
