Background
Chenmeng Butterfly started writing this series in February 2020, after she comes back from her hometown in China. Chenmeng thinks that she should write a book showing modern Chinese family and its problem in YA books as she realised that there were little books this topic in the library of her school, especially fiction books for her age. The name Lucie and Lily were chosen because Chenmeng remembered that her mother told her about the two girls in the early English textbooks named Lucy and Lily; Chenmeng thinks Lucy is a bit too common and old-fashioned, so she change this name to Lucie to made it sound more modern. She chose Lidia for the little sister's name because in the earlier versions, Lucie and Lily often calls Lidia with a nickname 'Lidiaper' when they were younger.
