The Spoiled Daughter
(Original Title: 嬌女)
It is not about being swept away by the romantic advances of a man. The conflict lies in the expectations between men and women, as well as the struggles within one’s own heart. Despite pressure to conform, she seeks to forge her own path, embracing modern ideals while confronting the traditional values instilled by her family. Her journey is fraught with challenges, but she remains determined not to lose her identity.
