Aomei is a woman whose life has been extraordinarily harsh. Schemed against from the moment she was born, she was abandoned as a baby in a damp ditch by the river. If an elderly disabled man hadn’t rescued her, she would probably have died alone in the darkness and silence.
The moment Aomei entered her grandfather’s home, he began the process of registering her as a resident. But only he knew how arduous the journey was. Sixteen years passed, and his wish remained unfulfilled. In the end, he died with his eyes open while still searching through the thorns for her biological parents.
As an adult, she was bullied by her classmates and then by her boss at work. Every moment was a bitter struggle against fate. She thought she had grown to hate all men and would never fall in love or give her heart away. But Heaven delighted in tormenting her, seemingly eager to watch her suffer even more. A thin ray of light quietly appeared above her, and she, unwilling to give up and stubborn to the end, became obsessed with it. Yet that piece of driftwood led her to fall into the abyss once again…

Again and again, she struggled through despair and clung to strength on her last breath. Her sunshine was within reach, right above her head. All she had to do was grab hold of it, and her world would shine bright. She would never again have to hide underground like a rat or an ant. But the man she loved had fallen into an even deeper pit. What would she do now that he was the one in need…
