When Xin Ming was little, her sister read fairy tales to her, including Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and The Mermaid.
Her sister told her that as long as she remained kind and cared for others, a prince would fall from the sky to love her.
Xin Ming would pretend to fall asleep every time after listening to a story. After her sister left, she would lie in bed alone and think about the stories her sister told.
What Xin Ming didn't tell her sister was that she didn't envy the princesses at all. Instead, she envied the unattractive princes. They did almost nothing and only gave a little extra kindness to get a beautiful, virtuous, smart and lovely princess.
It would be great if she also had a princess, Xin Ming thought.
Later, when he went to college, Xin Ming did meet a princess. She was beautiful and generous, but not kind at all!
Chi Zhao almost saw through Xin Ming's little thoughts. She patiently peeled off Xin Ming's defensiveness, then reached out to the fragile little girl in the middle and coaxed:
"Come with me, I'll give you everything you want."
