Features: Young Sarah Crusoe, the beloved daughter of a wealthy British gentleman, lives a life of princess-like luxury at a boarding school. However, with her father's death, her status at the school suffers a devastating blow. Homeless and destitute, Sarah struggles through life under the hypocritical and cruel pity of the female headmistress, enduring countless hardships. Yet, Sarah remains optimistic and resilient. Her vivid imagination and broad-mindedness enable her to face the bleakness of life and the pain of having nothing with a positive attitude. She says, "If I am a princess, even if I am ragged, my heart is still that of a princess. If I am dressed in fine clothes, it is easy for me to become a princess, but to still retain a princess's heart when unknown, is a greater success." Her optimism and courage attract the attention of a mysterious person, and after enduring the exhausting hardships of life, the former princess regains her former radiance.
