She tries to persuade her aunt on someone's behalf, only to witness once again the breakdown of Lin Zhao, the former top student.

[*Chapters 1-16] Volume One: The Prisoner Waiting for Birds to Fly. Now complete.
After her grandmother dies, Chen Yan, Wu You's mother, disappears without warning after caring for her for ten years. All the fifteen-year-old girl has left is a moldy home, a headline in the news, and a question for herself: "Do I deserve to be Chen Yan's daughter?"

Lin Yi always thought her older sister, Lin Zhao, the top humanities student, was an all-powerful guardian angel.
Until the day she saw Lin Zhao sitting amid a room in disarray, glaring at her and asking, "Who are you?"
At school, she meets Wu You, a "good student."
Encouraged by Wu You, Lin Yi finally finds the courage to face Lin Zhao, only to discover that her once-perfect sister, in the midst of a hysterical breakdown, pushes her away with the cruelest words...
Note:
1. The characters aren't perfect. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.
2. Relationships: friendship and family, with no romance involving the main characters.
3. It's long, rambling, and abstract. Don't doubt it: much of the story is the author criticizing people indirectly.
4. I will finish it.
Theme: Against achievement worship
😭 😭 😭 From Wu You's perspective, there is no record of grandma's pain. Isn't it Wu You's love for grandma?
