About This Novel

Seventeen-year-old Lin Zhi is an "top student" living in the shadows. The dull air of the repeat class and her mother's suffocating expectations trapped her alive in a cage called "stability." She thought that life was a silent sentence, until that young man named Shen Yu, with a wild and unruly look, forced his way into her desk. Shen Yu was once the "thorn in the side" who turned in blank papers in the examination room, and was the outlier that the school avoided. He held a guitar with broken strings in his arms, but in his eyes was a burning freedom that Lin Zhi had never seen before. From deskmates who were wary of each other, to secret tutoring in an abandoned piano room; From escaping over the wall late at night to rushing to the train station in the heavy rain. "Lin Zhi, life is not just about getting into that crappy school. The place we want to get into is this world of fireworks." When the sea breeze from the south blows away the chirping of cicadas in Bincheng, and when the admission notice shreds all prejudices. Lin Zhi finally understood that those days of walking against the light were not to avoid the darkness, but to become the light.
