Falling from the Starry River

Bai Xing's first twenty-odd years were full of ups and downs. In his short life, he lost one person who loved him after another. Then he met someone and thought that perhaps this person wouldn't leave him too.

But in the end, that person also disappeared from his life.

From then on, the last glimmer of light in Bai Xing's world went out, leaving nothing but darkness.

Song Luo spent his first decade or so living in a world built for him by others, following the rules and sticking to the plan. Then someone unexpectedly appeared in his world, shattering every rule and bringing a touch of color to his bland, uneventful life. In the end, he lost that touch of color too, and from then on, all that remained in his world was gray.

Later, he began trying to find that color again.
