A modern version of Brave Cinderella

"Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time there was a Cinderella who lost her parents and lived in the shadow of a vicious stepmother and two jealous sisters. Every day she was called to work like a worker and lived a miserable life. Until one day, She met a kind magician, was able to attend the ball beautifully, and attracted a prince who was suave and suave..."
"Stop here! That's a story told in Grimm's fairy tales for many years. Now."
"Then... let me tell you a modern version... Once upon a time there was a girl who was hardworking and kind, but was always oppressed by a vicious stepmother and stupid stepsisters. Her dream was to be admitted to Princeton University. , she has a netizen who has a crush on her, could that be her prince..."
"You...what are you talking about?!"

Adapted from the story of Cinderella, although the general plot is similar, there are still many more modern ones. Elements: For example, Cinderella has to do errands in the family restaurant, the way Cinderella knows the prince is the Internet, the mobile phone that Cinderella lost when she escaped, the kind waiter in the restaurant who helped Cinderella, etc., there is no magic element, all is reality.

Most admired is the bravery of modern Cinderella. She is not the girl in the fairy tale who would only cry and pray for God's help when she encounters difficulties. She has been working hard to change her destiny. In order to go to the university of her choice, she studied hard and got excellent grades. She is willing to take care of everything for her stepmother and stepsisters, endure the teasing and contempt of outsiders, just to get the college tuition she deserves. After she couldn't stand the unreasonable troubles of her stepmother, she could resolutely refuse and give up, and had the courage to start her own new life, without relying on anyone to become independent. She likes the handsome and talented prince, but after knowing the prince's cowardice and retreat, she also dares to let herself leave him.

Always remember the words Cinderella bravely rushed into the men's locker room and said to the prince, "I am who I am, I don't care what others think of me, the most important thing is how I think of myself, even if I have no home to go back to and no money. You can go to college, but I will look down on you."

Such a strong and brave girl, this is the real princess. Not by beautiful appearance, not by gorgeous clothes, not by wealthy family, not by everything on the outside. She itself is the greatest wealth, her mind, her temperament, and her heart are enough to make her always proud of herself, and also worthy of everyone's love and respect.

The story ended in a perfect ending. The prince finally conquered his cowardice and had the courage to choose his own life. Cinderella also discovered her father's will from the fairy tale book and successfully got back all her property. Cinderella and the prince are still happily together in the end, and of course the bad-hearted stepmother and step-sisters also get their retribution. The so-called good is rewarded, and evil is rewarded, everything seems so perfect.

However, what I remember the most is always that brave and strong girl.
