Lin Wan, an advertising director, lives only for proposals and deadlines—until three calls from her six-year-old daughter Xiaotang shatter her “efficient life.” The first call came when she worked overtime until midnight: Xiaotang cried holding a crumpled picture book, begging to read *The Star Mom*. The second was at Xiaotang’s birthday party: she rushed in with a just-revised contract, only to see Xiaotang sitting in the corner hugging her high heels. The third was on a stormy night: Xiaotang’s tearful voice came over the phone: “Mom, I stuck stars on your computer…” When she stumbled home, she found Xiaotang with a high fever, clutching the star necklace she’d made—turns out Xiaotang had saved star stickers for a week to “turn Mom’s night into stars.” As she held the burning-hot Xiaotang and opened the picture book, the last page read: “Mom, I’m your little star baby.”
