However, tragedy strikes when the husband gets into a car accident and becomes paralyzed, while the younger sister ends up in a mental asylum.

Inhabiting the body of a supporting character who craves prosperity, she realizes that no one can choose their birth mother, but they can choose their life path. She faces adversity fearlessly, knowing that her fate is in her hands.
