After the Good Girl Ended Up in the Slums

Francis is a Chinese American who ended up in North America. She was sold by a crooked doctor right after birth.

Not long after she was "adopted," her adoptive parents had a biological child of their own.

She became an eyesore.

When a human trafficking scandal broke out, her adoptive parents took the opportunity to legally get rid of her.

Still underage, she had no choice but to return to the adoption agency and temporarily move in with a foster family.

Her new foster home was in a slum,

where gambling, prostitution, and drugs were rampant, and even the police would rather stay away.

Addicts were everywhere, and every so often a corpse would turn up in a garbage heap.

Francis looked at herself, barely over five feet tall, in her red plaid school uniform, looking like a perfect little angel,

and couldn't imagine how she was supposed to survive here.

Theme: Face adversity head-on and never give up.
