Stepparent Series II: Sister and Brother

Yang Haibing's mother favors sons over daughters. She is always making her daughter cook, wash dishes, and do farm work, while she dotes on her son and has never once scolded or hit him. After her husband is unexpectedly paralyzed, the family's financial pressure grows, and her favoritism worsens. She sees her daughter as a “burden” and even turns a blind eye to Yang Haibing's coldness toward his sister. This imbalance leaves the family in an “emotional wasteland,” with the sister's experience as a migrant worker and the tragedy of her marriage becoming casualties of their mother's favoritism.
