An Old, Tired Story

Sun Yulin grew up without a father or mother. The orphanage was her only home, and Sun Hong, who had depended on her for survival, was her only family, though they weren't related by blood.

Sun Hong was a good student and dreamed of becoming a pilot. So Sun Yulin finished vocational school and started working early, saving up tuition for her younger sister and doing her best to improve their lives.

But fate had other plans. With a year left before university graduation, Sun Hong was suddenly diagnosed with leukemia. The treatment was expensive, and Sun Yulin scraped together money from every possible source, only managing to pay tens of thousands.

As she ran around trying to raise money for treatment, a mysterious boss who refused to show his face approached her.

Ming Dan grew up with her mother, Yuan Mengxia.

When she was twelve, she and her mother were in a traffic accident. Yuan Mengxia died, but Ming Dan survived thanks to her mother's protection. From then on, she could no longer stand or walk, and had to rely on a wheelchair.

Good fortune came with the bad: her biological father, Ming Wangda, chairman of the Mingda Group, found her. He brought her back to the Ming family, arranged treatment for her, and sent her abroad to receive the best education.

At twenty-one, Ming Wangda's health began to decline. Ming Dan returned to China with her father. Chairman Ming hoped she could take over part of the family business, while her older half-sister, Ming Liang, was already thirty and determined to become the next chairwoman.

Two people who seemed to have nothing to do with each other unexpectedly entered one another's lives that summer.

* As the title suggests, it's a clichéd, melodramatic story.

* Two gloomy characters, and their past, present, and future.
