Two thousand yuan was the price she was sold for. One piece of chocolate was the beginning of her new world. The girl, Chu Jue, was sold by her biological parents to an unfamiliar family. Waiting for her were a seemingly cold stepmother, a rebellious older brother, and an unconventional, romantic painter who became her adoptive father. Though the four of them shared no blood ties, they stumbled through the everyday ups and downs of family life, yet never hesitated to stand up for one another whenever storms came. From spoiled rice to birthday cakes, from being abandoned to being fiercely protected—love is never diminished by the absence of blood ties. A home is a safe haven built by those who choose one another.
