Model Family

The mother is beautiful, virtuous, and gentle. The father is quiet, responsible, and dependable. The older brother is handsome, academically excellent, and fond of playing the piano. The older sister is refined, intelligent, and accomplished, excelling in dance. The family is harmonious and loving, a model household praised by all the neighbors. Yet, no one notices that their forced smiles are stiff and numb, like puppets unable to control themselves. — Four indescribable beings are controlled by a mysterious force. Though they despise each other, they are forced into human bodies, compelled to play the role of a detestable model human family. —Unable to resist, unable to escape. One day, a three-year-old child appears at their doorstep. The neighbors all assume this is their youngest son. Another loathsome kin. They know this is the “family member” sent by the rules. “Little fool, why are you sitting on the ground? Get up.” The ‘mother’ gently tugs at her lips, extending a hand toward the little son sitting on the floor. In her expectation, the model youngest son should place his hand in hers and sweetly say, “Thank you, Mommy.” The next second, the little son bites her hand hard. ‘Mother’: … The ‘family’ members watching nearby: ??? — Qi Lang is a child raised by wolves. At three years old, the wolf died. A few days later, he died beside the wolf. When he woke again, Qi Lang had a new family. — They are world-weary and pessimistic. Their world is a barren wasteland. Then, a clumsy little wolf cub stumbles over the cliff, howling “awoo awoo” twice. And the barren world is suddenly bathed in moonlight.
