Official story outline
After 15 years missing, my parents finally found me at an orphanage. My mother cried, saying she never stopped looking for me. But their adopted daughter, Iris, cried whenever I called her "Mom," so I had to call her "Auntie." I gave Iris everything: my room, my birthday, even my only family photo. My brain tumor caused memory loss, but they thought I was faking it for attention. Only when I forgot who Mom was did she finally panic.
ShortDramaBuzz treats the listing synopsis as a dated source snapshot. When the official text is truncated, we stop at what is written rather than filling gaps from unofficial recaps.
Episodes and length
The official ShortMax record currently lists 25 episodes and about 64.4K public views (snapshot reviewed Nov 9, 2026). Overseas short-drama episodes are typically about one to three minutes each; that is an industry pattern, not a measured runtime for every episode of this title.
We do not republish a per-episode title list. Open the official listing for the live episode rail, unlock state, and any newly added chapters.
Free vs paid on this listing
This listing does not expose a clear paid-start episode in our snapshot. Check ShortMax in your region for which episodes are free and which need coins or a subscription.

What the tags signal
- The official tags frame this as a modern, family drama, underdog story.
- Use the official synopsis to identify the central conflict before relying on popularity alone.
Tags can overlap, so they describe conflict style more than quality or ending.
Family Drama themes around this title
Family dramas turn private history into present-day conflict. Lost children, inheritance disputes, parental favoritism, and chosen-family bonds can all reshape who belongs at the table.
The compressed format rewards stories with a strong central relationship. Look beyond the number of twists to see whether relatives have distinct motives rather than serving as obstacles only.
How to use this guide
Use the facts box for episode count, platform, and the official call to action. Use the outline for the premise the rights holder already published. Use genre links when you want adjacent titles with verified listings. Skip unofficial “ending explained” posts if you want to experience the series as released.
ShortDramaBuzz will not fabricate a cast list, episode-by-episode titles, or a completion status we cannot see in the structured listing. If the official app later expands the synopsis or changes monetization, those updates belong on ShortMax first; our source-reviewed timestamp shows when this snapshot was last checked.
