Yi Xue was not born that way. When she was a child, she was a cheerful girl with big dreams even if she was an orphan. She had an aunt who cared for her a lot back then, and it seemed she had no worries even if she couldn't live with her parents anymore.
She grew up with her aunt, and she also learned a lot from her aunt. Her aunt, Yi Ning, was also like a sunflower, and her character greatly affected Yi Xue.
However, things started to change after Yi Ning died ten years ago. Yi Xue didn't cry when she found out that her aunt wouldn't be able to dance with her anymore. Back then, she knew that she would have no more family members, but she really didn't shed any tears after her aunt's death.
She was very different from Duan Shuchun who couldn't even stop crying after Yi Ning died. That woman wasn't even related by blood to the unlucky woman who died young, but she was deeply heartbroken when Yi Ning breathed her last in the backyard of the Tiantang House.
