I loved how Huan Er effortlessly chiseled away at the stone wall that surrounded Wu Ji's cold heart. A precocious 9 year old Wu Ji, having lost his parent due to limitless greed. This leaves him de facto head of house and parent to his younger siblings, leaving only duty and revenge in his heart. Huan Er slowly conquers one family member after another with her integrity, courage and kindness, finally melting Wu Ji's own heart.

The only flaw with this story is Huan Er's huge blind spot in seeing her father as the treacherous monster he really is. She is supposed to be intelligent, but when it comes to her father, she is dumber than a box of rocks. The saying, "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me," comes to mind. It is only when her daddy issues put Wu Ji's life in jeopardy that she finally wakes up to smell the coffee, or tea, as the case may be.
