In the midsummer of that year, the sun rusted the outline of youth. For the silent Shen Peihao, the world is filled with dusty classrooms, endless exercises, and never-ending criticism from her mother. Until one day, the dazzling Xu Yeran crashed into her life without any warning - he was the most dazzling uninvited guest in her ordinary world, a heart-beating collision in the corridor, the hot breath under the same umbrella on a rainy day, and the breathtaking "give it a try" under the starry sky on the secret rooftop.
This first love, which begins with heartbeat, is like stolen candy, wrapped in secret sweetness and trembling. She thought she had caught the light that illuminated her bleak life, but she had to face harsh rumors, the scrutiny and hostility from his world, and the huge, silent class gap between the two.
When misunderstandings arise, arguments break out, and promises are broken, rifts quietly spread. But fate has played a cruel joke - hidden behind the sweetness is a separation that has long been destined and no one knows...
This is a story about first love. It is also a story about class, illness, regret and growth. It is about summer, starlight, corridors and the sound of rain, and more about a goodbye that is too late to say.
We have loved each other, suffered pain, and finally learned to miss each other in the years when the stars are rusty.

The content of the novel is so real and immersive that you can't help but feel sympathy. I hope Shen Peihao will live a happier life later on.
