September sunlight streams into the classroom, but Lin Xiaonuo’s life is like a closed book, silent and sealed off. Then transfer student Chen Muyang arrives and breaks her quiet routine. His smile shines like sunshine, yet deep shadows lurk in his eyes.
One is a girl who has learned to protect herself with silence. The other is a boy who bears old wounds but pretends to be cheerful. Their meeting is like the tide drawn by the moon: they are bound to pull each other closer. When Lin Xiaonuo sees Chen Muyang fighting someone in an alley, and Chen Muyang accidentally notices the scars on her wrist, two lonely hearts begin to draw near.
Yet the shadows beneath the sunlight never disappear: Chen Muyang’s alcoholic mother, Lin Xiaonuo’s constantly feuding family, the rumors at school, and the past neither of them wants to talk about. They help each other heal, yet stumble through the torrents of reality. Then, on a stormy winter night, Lin Xiaonuo has nowhere to go, and Chen Muyang brings her into his broken but warm world. Their fates become irrevocably intertwined.
This is a story of youth, about wounds and healing, pretense and truth. When the tide is drawn in, can they become an eternal light in each other’s lives?
