After Being Overlooked, I Shine Brightly

Su Xiao was the "overlooked one" in her blended family: her stepsister’s birthday had a three-layer cake, while hers only got a bowl of cold yangchun noodles; her mom bought her stepsister the latest tablet, but her old drawing board was cracked and held together with tape. Until one day in her senior year, she found a mistake notebook on the playground—its last page read: "The sunset you painted is the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen—Chen Mo." Chen Mo was the top student in the school and the only one who noticed her drawing in the corridor. Su Xiao woke up: she stopped catering to favoritism and poured all her time into painting. Half a year later, her work *The Unseen Light* won the gold medal in the National Youth Art Competition. When she stood on the award stage, her once-favoritist mom hugged her crying, and Chen Mo held her sunset painting and said: "You finally let everyone see your light."
