When Xu Ziqi arrived at the Tong family's house with her luggage, the first person she saw was Tong Huiyu.
The eldest daughter of the Tong family was proud, fair, and beautiful. She looked down at Xu Ziqi.
Feeling inferior, Xu Ziqi lowered her head and looked at the ugly sandals on her feet, unable to stop herself from curling her toes.
After moving in with the Tong family, she was like an ugly duckling in a dark corner, peeking at a swan.
She watched Tong Huiyu and her first love get tangled up in an on-again, off-again relationship, occasionally sparing a little attention for her "poor relative."
Xu Ziqi was a dim shadow, always trailing behind Tong Huiyu.
The day Tong Huiyu confessed her love, Xu Ziqi saw her first love leave dejectedly. She thought she had found love.
On the eve of their engagement, Tong Huiyu got drunk and clung to her first love, saying she couldn't live without her.
Xu Ziqi had come to pick her up. She watched silently as the first love shot her a challenging look and asked, "What about Xu Ziqi?"
After a long silence, Tong Huiyu said, "She can't compare to you."
Xu Ziqi lowered her head, her vision blurred. The ugly sandals from years ago hadn't disappeared. They had merely turned into a pair of gorgeous high heels that didn't fit.
So Xu Ziqi decided to throw them away.
P.S. The regretful chase comes too late. She won't turn back, and there's another couple.
When spring comes, the ugly duckling will become a swan.
