Dusk's Atonement

Strong female lead, strong male lead, playing dumb while hiding their true abilities, childhood friends, stunning actress older sister Bai Yi and her icy younger brother An Shiyi

Jiangcheng lies on the coast, and its twilight sea views are breathtaking. But drive farther inland and you see what the city is really like: skyscrapers

nearly block out the entire sky. The sky, indistinguishable from either exhaust fumes or smog, lets in not a single ray of sunlight.

There is no twilight there.

Bai Yi curls up on the concrete balcony floor to light a cigarette. The sea breeze is too strong, and the good-luck doll hanging under the eaves keeps ringing. She can't get the cigarette at her fingertips to catch.

An Shiyi sits on the bed, leaning back and bracing himself with his hands as he stretches out his long, curled-up legs. He tilts his head the other way and glances at Bai Yi.

Her chestnut hair flutters in the sea breeze. There's only a sliver of light left on the horizon. Her profile is breathtakingly beautiful too. It isn't as sharply defined as a European's, but it is sculpted enough. Her eyebrows are dyed a lighter shade to match her hair, giving her a gentler look than before. As she tilts her head to light the cigarette, the blue veins in her slender white neck seem almost visible.

She has the face of a savior, but who can she save?
