Foster Mom Is Also Mom

Foster Mom Is Also Mom Plot:

On Lin Xiaoman's 18th birthday, her biological mother Su Wan, president of a listed group, suddenly showed up, wanting to take her abroad to study at a famous school. However, her foster mother Li Guilan, who raised her, is just the "Steamed Bun Mom" who has sold buns at the alley for 16 years—she gets up at 3 a.m. to knead dough to fund Xiaoman's studies, secretly uses her own medical money to buy a computer for Xiaoman, and even ends up in the hospital due to overwork. Torn between the dreamed-of wealthy life and the deep-rooted, everyday affection, Xiaoman stands at a crossroads. But in the ward, she finds the "Growth Account Book" Guilan hid under her pillow—every entry reads "Xiaoman's school uniform fee" or "Xiaoman's Olympiad class fee," and the last page says: "As long as Xiaoman is well, everything I do is worth it." At that moment, she finally understands: "Mom" is never defined by blood; it's 16 years of hot steamed buns, warm lights, and every bit of effort hidden in the years.
