A Fleeting Summer Against the Light

She grew up in an orphanage, where she endured constant bullying. When she was ten, she met a boy who played the xiao. They became friends because they felt a connection deep within. But later, he arranged to meet her and never showed up. He only sent someone to give her a jade butterfly pendant, and she never saw him again. At fifteen, she was adopted by An Shaojing, the head of the An Group, and became Director An's puppet. From then on, her peaceful life was thrown into turmoil.
