From Caterpillar to Butterfly: The Three Sisters' Journeys

[All-female leads + no couples + disciplinary themes] A story of three women growing up, with no romantic pairings (some male characters make brief appearances). The Cocoon Breaks into Butterflies: The Three Sisters’ Journey tells a story of redemption and growth. After their parents die, three-year-old Lin Mengren is kidnapped. Her eldest sister, Lin Mengyi, and second sister, Lin Mengjia search for five years before finally rescuing her from a group of thugs on a rainy night. Covered in scars, withdrawn and volatile, the girl enters her sisters’ lives carrying a shattered past. From primary school to adulthood, Lin Mengren struggles and transforms under her sisters’ strict discipline and deep love. Standing in punishment and kneeling are commonplace; when she skips class and rebels, she gets a sound thrashing from both sisters; and the rattan leaves marks on her fingertips as she learns piano. Little by little, she sheds her wildness. After starting university, she gradually understands her sisters’ good intentions. Once she enters the working world, she takes on her share of responsibility, eventually growing from a homeless orphan into a branch-company president. Standing shoulder to shoulder with her sisters at the top, the three sisters’ paths intertwine through time, forming a warm and resilient light.
