Her father had been very strict with her from a young age. She was obedient and ended up learning many things she didn't like.
When she was in university, she received the opportunity to study abroad. Her excitement lasted a long while, and after a lot of persuasion, her father, Lu Mojing, agreed to let her go abroad.
She was genuinely thrilled, looking forward to the idea of having fewer constraints.
She yearned for a carefree life, loathed the dry and mundane calligraphy, chess, and painting she had to learn. Hence, she could imagine how wonderful life abroad would be.
The moment she arrived in the foreign country, she felt the air was much fresher as the weight of her father's control was lifted away. She found it hard to breathe under his pressure, so she couldn't appreciate the quality of the air back home.
