Abandoned by her biological family, eight-year-old Xu Yan clutched her crumpled documents, believing her life held nothing but thorns, until the Meng family handed her the key to their home. Behind them, Meng Yancheng silently offered her a glass of warm milk. "From now on, I'm your big brother."
She became Meng Yancheng's younger sister, but never lost her edge. When she was bullied at work, she gathered evidence and struck back on the spot. Then she ran into Meng Yancheng downstairs. "If you need a lawyer, just call me." When her biological parents showed up to extort money, she grabbed a stick and prepared to face them, but Meng's father had already ordered security to clear the place. "She's a daughter of the Meng family. No one gets to bully her."
Meng Yancheng protected her, while she made a name for herself through her own abilities. When Shen Haoming made insincere advances, she blocked him without hesitation. "I can earn what I want myself." When people sneered that she had "used adoption to climb the ladder," Meng Yancheng produced her project results. "Then why don't you prove you can do the same?"
She was still Xu Yan, the one who would "trade what I have for what I want." But this time, the Meng family stood behind her, and her big brother had her back. When a thorny rose finds the safest harbor, Xu Yan's brilliant life no longer has anything to fear! This is how mutual redemption is supposed to work!
