The fast update also gives the younger generation some opportunities to challenge. In the future, you should be more yourself and don't be influenced by the outside world.

Drama Fairy: Because her mother was ill, she had been accompanying her mother for treatment and had not trained for a long time, so her condition declined. Unfortunately, her mother passed away in the end. However, her younger sister concentrated on her studies and postgraduate studies, was independent and sober, and knew what she wanted more, which was also a good choice.
