> Resúmenes de My Destiny
Fang Jingyu, a doctor and the principal of a nursing school, travels to the remote village of Shenxian Peak for a medical mission. Her seven-year-old daughter, Fang Wanzhi, insists on joining her, fascinated by the winding mountain roads that seem to vanish into the mist. In the medical tent, Jingyu treats a woman named He Xiaoqin, who is brought in by her husband, Yang Sanjin. Jingyu notices numerous injuries on Xiaoqin’s body and suspects domestic abuse or even human trafficking.
However, Xiaoqin denies being a victim, explaining that her family has lived on Shenxian Peak for generations. While Jingyu is called away for an urgent consultation, Xiaoqin gazes at Wanzhi with a strange intensity. She tells the young girl that she once had a little sister who would have been Wanzhi's age if she were still alive. Xiaoqin’s son, Yang Hui, interrupts the moment, warning Wanzhi to stay away because his mother is mentally ill and might scratch her.
Despite his warning, the kind-hearted Wanzhi allows the woman to gently touch her face. Later, while Wanzhi and Yang Hui are out in the fields, a chaotic military paratrooper exercise nearby causes a bull to charge toward them. A villager named He Yongwang throws himself in front of the animal to protect Wanzhi, suffering a serious injury to his back.
When Jingyu goes to thank him and offer compensation, she is stunned to recognize him as the man from her past. Seven years earlier, Jingyu had helped He Yongwang’s wife, He Hua, deliver a baby at her own home because they couldn't reach a hospital in time. It was a difficult birth, but Jingyu saved both mother and daughter. However, He Yongwang and his wife already had two daughters and were desperate for a son.
The next morning, they abandoned the newborn girl and fled. Jingyu, unable to leave the child, adopted her and raised her as Wanzhi. Her husband, Meng Siyuan, the Vice Magistrate of Yu County, fully supported the decision. He loved Wanzhi as his own and even encouraged her to keep the Fang surname to honor Jingyu’s family. When Wanzhi is eight years old, she rescues a younger boy named Li Yudan from a group of school bullies.
The boy is frequently teased because his name literally means "Fish Egg"—a reflection of his mother’s job selling fish and his late father’s job selling eggs. Since his mother is illiterate, Wanzhi takes it upon herself to rename him Li Xingke, drawing from a poetic line about a wayfarer that her father loves. Wanzhi adopts him as her "little brother," and he begins coming to her house to do his homework.
His mother is deeply grateful and often brings fresh fish to the Meng household. She is initially unaware of Siyuan’s high ranking but eventually learns that her son is being tutored in the home of the Vice Magistrate and a school principal. Siyuan welcomes the boy, telling Wanzhi that a brother eating at his sister's house requires no excuse. By the time Wanzhi is fifteen, she is still looking out for Li Xingke.
When she discovers that he and several other students from Yu County are being extorted by three local thugs, she organizes a meeting at her house while her parents are away. She rallies the other victims, reminding them that people from Yu County do not allow themselves to be bullied. Wanzhi leads the group to confront the thugs, using her father’s influence as a deterrent.
One of the bullies, recognizing her as the daughter of a high official, calls her the "Princess of Yu County." Wanzhi successfully intimidates them into apologizing and swearing never to bother her peers again. However, when the parents of the other students come to Jingyu to express their gratitude, the truth about the fight comes out. Jingyu is far from proud; she scolds Wanzhi for relying on her father's status and for her growing vanity.
She punishes Wanzhi by making her copy the word "Vanity" thousands of times, lecturing her on the importance of proving one’s value through character rather than birthright. Wanzhi and Li Xingke eventually enter the same university together. Li Xingke’s feelings for her have evolved beyond those of a brother, but he struggles to find the right moment to tell her.
Meanwhile, Wanzhi becomes intrigued by a senior student named Han Bin, a talented and famous figure on campus whose father is a high-ranking provincial official. During a campus broadcast, Han Bin reads an anonymous essay titled "Vanity in the Autumn Wind," which Wanzhi had written but left unsigned. Later, at a literary competition, Han Bin serves as a judge and recognizes Wanzhi’s writing style in her winning entry, "Four Seasons in a Small Town."
He approaches her, praising her work and expressing a desire to visit Yu County himself. He takes Wanzhi for a ride on his motorcycle and treats her to dinner at an expensive buffet, where he casually reveals that he is already aware of her father’s identity as the Vice Mayor.
