study literature and languages and prepare to take the exam to

carefree and happy, but in actuality it is just a habit that she
uses a smiling expression to hide her own true feelings. This is

obedient daughter role. Appearing to be a very optimistic person,

heart. Her relationships always end in failure because of her
mother's excessive interference and over-protectiveness. She feels
