In the haze of a southern industrial town in the 1990s, twelve-year-old Sang Yu grew up with two secrets: always hiding an old shirt in his schoolbag to cover the scratches left by the desk carving knife; and having to clean up the vomit of his drunken father every night. When the transfer student Ji Bai breaks into her fragmented world with the breath of grass, this youthful battle in the name of redemption pushes her into a deeper abyss. From the blood stains spreading in the back row of the classroom to the white canvas shoes shaking on the edge of the rooftop, from the broken sand table in the psychological clinic to the starry sky outside the iron window of the mental hospital, Sang Yu trudged through the maze of memory. It wasn't until a rainy night twenty years later that she, who had become a child psychologist, touched the scars solidified by time in the yellowed diary - it turns out that to truly break out of the cocoon, you need to learn to coexist with the shadows first.
