Author: Qi Wen

Synopsis

[A boy seeking redemption in a barren land] x [A girl who would risk everything for love] You’ll ache for him, and you’ll watch him struggle at the edge of ruin. You’ll lead him into the sunlight, then give him a poke in the back. Also known as: A Stroke of Youth /// Missing person notice: [Shao Xuan, male, postgraduate student in law at Yubei Law School, admitted through the self-study entrance exam. Missing since July 13. If you see him, please contact us. Generous reward offered...] At Shunan High School, he was a spirited student representative. In the ordinary lanes and alleys, he was just an everyday boy yearning desperately for a second chance at life. She was one of Shunan High School’s many unremarkable students, yet on the big screen she was a superstar who won audiences over with her acting. /// The person Wu Yi cherished was the gentle boy who escorted her safely home late at night, remembered the things she said, and again and again drew her, trembling with fear, onto the path of courage. But she couldn’t understand why the person she had carefully cherished for so many years would rather admit there was dust on his face than admit she was looking at him. She understood even less why, on the night she confessed her feelings, he accepted her embrace, only to turn around and lash out with icy, cruel words. And she couldn’t understand why Shao Xuan, who had promised they would meet again, never showed up... /// After the graduation ceremony, his seat was already empty. Among the names their classmates had left on the blackboard, Shao Xuan’s had appeared too. She ran up to look, only to discover that the name Shao Xuan had lost its sharp edges... Shao Xuan, who had once told her, “Every other style of calligraphy teaches you to rein in your edge. Only Slender Gold Script teaches you to let it shine.” His pride was gone.

Looking for a Low-Key, Everyday Love Story Between Ordinary People

I've read lots of books where the protagonist has a cheat. Now I want an ordinary love story and an ordinary, peaceful life. Historical or modern romance is fine, any era. I'm tired of generals, marquises, CEOs, and emperors. I'd like to read stories where their subordinates are the main characters.

A very short article, but you can see it. During his high school days, Shao Xuan was a proud student among his teachers and classmates. But he is also the bright moon who was suppressed by his birth, and he is one of the living beings striving for a bright future in the darkness. He is the dawn that cannot light up and the dusk that cannot darken. Such a young man who seems to be dazzling and outstanding has written in the book: Why happiness is like a thin layer of ice, and why misery follows him like a shadow. The person in Wu Yi's heart is the gentle young man who escorted her home safely late at night, cared about what she said, and pulled her frightened woman onto the path of bravery over and over again. She didn't understand why the boy she had carefully cared for for many years would rather admit that there was dust on his face than admit that she was looking at him. She didn't even understand why he spoke coldly and harshly to her when he clearly accepted her hug on that night of confession. She didn't even understand why Shao Xuan, whom she had agreed to meet next time, didn't show up... I cried even more when I saw this missing person notice. [Shao Xuan, male, self-study admitted to Yubei Law School, majoring in law, graduate student, disappeared on October 13th, if you see it, please contact me, I will pay you heavily...] Is it the author, Xiaoyi or my sister who hopes that Shao Xuan's departure is a dream? After reading that chapter, Wu Yi's dream became even more extremely sad. She even wanted to exchange something with God, hoping that there would be another time and space where Shao Xuan was still alive and well during their high school days. Just like the song Shao Xuan heard: God, please leave me alone and let her be happy first. God Has she stopped having insomnia recently? May the warmth of the world turn into a wisp of wind Hug her on my behalf You have to take good care of her in the days to come. You can't bully her when I'm not with her. Don't let anyone get into her heart again Finally left her Because I don't want to see her cry anymore I hope my efforts can catch up with hers One day I can give her a complete home [crying]
