Features: A very smart little girl—Sarah Crewe, the only daughter of a British officer stationed in India. She was born, and her mother died soon after, leaving her father, Captain Crewe, to raise her. At the age of seven, her father sent her to a school in London. Due to her family's wealth, she naturally became a student of great importance to the school and was seen as a source of pride by the vain and ambitious Principal Jenny. She also became a "little princess" adored by all. However, just as she stood at the peak of happiness and honor, misfortune slowly crept closer to her. Her father, having failed in his career and fallen seriously ill, passed away. At this point, Sarah suddenly fell into a deep abyss of misfortune and hardship, transforming overnight from a cherished "little princess" into a worthless "little maid." After suffering this sudden blow, she did not lose her spirit; her inherent noble qualities did not change either. In this cold and harsh reality, her kindness and willingness to help others eventually made her a true "little princess" in people's hearts.
