Nan Yu was brought back from her uncle's house by her adoptive parents, who said they had arranged a good marriage for her and wanted her to come back for the wedding.
Ever since their biological daughter, Nan Qingqing, returned, her adoptive parents, once so doting on her, had turned cold and began to despise her. Eventually, they threw her to her gambling-addicted uncle in the countryside, only letting her return for a month during the New Year, and sometimes even sending her back early.
This time, though it wasn't the usual time of year, her adoptive parents suddenly came to bring her home, showering her with attentiveness, making her feel, just for a moment, as if she was back to the time when they treated her as their real daughter, calling her their "good girl" with every breath.
Nan Yu felt a flicker of joy in her heart, but more than that, she found it strange.
