★Avg. rating

At 20, Ling balances boxing and helping with her mother's lunchbox business, all while her family quietly unravels. Her parents fake harmony, but when her father brings home a new "girlfriend," the illusion is shattered. Refusing to look away, Ling endures the blows - bloodied and tear-streaked. In facing reality head-on, she discovers a deeper truth: only with honesty in her heart do her punches carry real weight.
