When they were seventeen, a series of upheavals left both of them orphans.
The pampered darling who had enjoyed a life of luxury lost all her support overnight;
The aloof girl who had struggled through life's storms since childhood was already used to bearing hardship alone.
A scheming stepfather, indifferent relatives, and the challenges of survival, school, and the future all came crashing down on them.
There was no prince on a white horse, no domineering CEO. They could only support each other and grit their teeth as they fought against fate.
After enduring a body covered in scars and making their way through a long, bitter winter, they would eventually find their own peaceful, carefree days.
