her silence was screaming

"They destroyed everything... but I still have my dream."

Her name is Mei, a soft-hearted, innocent girl with a little silliness in her smile, stars in her eyes, a voice made of magic, and a big dream hidden in her chest. She lives in the crowded lanes of Shanghai, sharing a tiny home with her struggling family a strict mother, a quiet father, a protective older sister, and a mischievous little brother. She has just passed 8th grade and is now in 9th class, walking that thin line between childhood and reality.

But Mei doesn't want an ordinary future.

Life demanded survival more than dreams, but deep in her heart, Mei held onto one stubborn wish to become a voice artist, to give life to characters, to speak stories into the world, to be heard for who she truly is. But her family doesn't understand. "Voice artist?" they laugh. "That's not a real job," they say. "It doesn't earn money. It won't feed you." So they push her toward ordinary jobs, safe paths the kind that crush the soul but pay the bills.

But how do you silence a dream that keeps whispering to you? In a world that tells her to shut up, can Mei find the courage to speak and be heard?

Grief-stricken and broken, Mei is thrown into a reality where nothing feels real anymore. Betrayal, secrets, and ashes are all that remain of the life she once knew. And behind it all... someone close was pulling the strings. But this is not just a story of tragedy. It's a story of fighting back. Of chasing dreams when you've lost everything. Of finding light when the world turns to smoke. Of a girl who had nothing left except her voice.

And this time... she's going to use it. ..
