Mei was living her best life as a 6 year old. She would pick flowers around the castle garden, collected rocks, and other things. As she grew up her mom Chen, would make her clean around the house every now and then. She would make her wash the dishes, mop the floor, and even watch her baby sister when Chen couldn’t. Mei always wondered why they couldn’t just hire a maid to clean around the house.

When Mei grew older, her mother started teaching her some simple stuff like reading and writing. She would still have to do chores while she continued learning but that didn’t bother her. Everything she learned was very easy for her so it didn’t bother her one bit. She would also read some of her favorite books during her free time.

6Out of curiosity, she opened up the letter and started to read it. It was about her non-biological mother and her biological mother who both made a deal about giving Mei and her younger sister to the non-biological mother. The reason for this was because the mom didn’t have enough money to support her family. Mei was 6 years old when it happened, so she wouldn't remember this since she was too young.

After reading the letter, she decides to ask Chen about the letter. Chen then decides to tell Mei that she is not her real mom. When Mei heard this, she got angry at Chen for not telling her sooner. Then, Chen offered to let Mei look for her biological parents, and even gave her the address of the village her biological parents lived at the last time Chen checked.
After having a long talk with Chen, she decided to make a big decision to take her and her sister to find their real parents. So, Chen helps Mei prepare and gives her the address. Mei thanks Chen and heads off to her journey with her sister Hau.

After Mei got a bit further away from the castle, she took a look at the address that Chen gave her and realized that the house was on the opposite side of China. She sighed and continued her journey. The first problem appeared when she had to cross the Gobi Desert. Mei didn't nearly have enough food or water for both Hau and her to share.
