[Campus Romance * Sweet Love * Healing] [Gentle-looking rebellious girl * Devoted, sunny, gentle top student] [Subverting Expectations * Straightforward Romance] [Two Gorgeous Leads] [Reader’s guide: A story about healing from a troubled family background, and it can also be sweet from beginning to end!!!] So what if she’s beautiful? Cheng Chuxiao’s life was dealt a terrible hand from the start. Both her parents are after rich partners, and her family is a complete mess. Even when fate toys with her and leaves her nowhere to turn, she refuses to back down: “Go ahead and kill me if you can!” She thought she didn’t care about anything, but only when she was pushed into a dead end did she realize how badly she’d been hurt. Her world is falling apart, but someone has always been there, stitching it back together. The gentle boy who lays his feelings bare comes to her like a god when she’s broken. “I’m not asking you to like me, but could you start by liking yourself?” He is a favored son of heaven, admired by everyone, while she is a fallen girl lost in the dust. Perhaps it’s the inferiority and stubbornness buried deep within her; perhaps she’s never believed in fairy-tale love. But the way her heart races when she meets him doesn’t lie… Amid betrayal and deception, tears in her eyes, she finally sees the road ahead clearly. “Ji Xingchuan, Heaven has never looked kindly on me. My sky will never brighten again.” “The first light of dawn is born in the darkest hour.” He grips her hand tightly and makes his vow. The seventeen-year-old boy who grew up surrounded by love knows that a hedgehog’s spines are there to protect it, and admires her resilience as she rises from the mire and turns toward the sun. With his fierce resolve, he is determined to face the world by her side, staying with her through the long, dark night until he can witness the first light of dawn with her.
