At just eleven years old, the eldest sibling, Yeong Sun, is forced to grow up overnight. Stepping into the role of a mother figure, she dedicates her entire life to protecting and raising her siblings through a harsh reality. As Yeong Sun focuses solely on her family's survival, an unexpected and irresistible love enters her life.
