[A brilliant, brooding transfer student × an indecisive, sensitive, impoverished girl] [Strong heroine + revenge + everyone is evil + no saintly heroine]
In Luotong City, a student’s high-profile death cast a heavy shadow over the city’s former peace. Anxious heartbeats echoed and spread through the mystery. The killer was believed to be Shen Ye, who had often bullied the victim. Qiu Nan, the victim, had been close friends with the transfer student Pei Wuming.
Pei Wuming called Qiu Nan her friend, but felt at a loss. She had transferred to her friend’s school, only for her friend to die by suicide a few months later. At the funeral, she prayed silently, closed her eyes, and began remembering the time she had spent with her friend…
Pei Wuming was consumed by conflicting emotions, while everyone else expressed hatred for the bully and sympathy for Pei Wuming and Qiu Nan. Pei Wuming was like a figure in black holding an umbrella at a chaotic crossroads. The passing gossip howled like the wind, churning waves of fear and unease across the ocean inside her.
“An emotionless, vindictive cold-blooded animal! Why didn’t you save me?” Qiu Nan’s furious scream was her final cry of despair. “You really are observant. You even remember the brand of my cigarettes.” That dismissive snort gave rise to more and more questions. Was Pei Wuming involved in what happened? Was she a bystander, or… an accomplice?
