The Shore of a Lonely Island

[Main Couple]

Xu Gushen & Tang Xi

After failing his exams, Xu Gushen is sent by his busy parents to attend a high school on the edge of the city. He spends his days silent and withdrawn. While looking for a place to rent, he meets his landlord, Tang Xi, who seems to be famous around town: a vocational school student with silver-gray hair, gleaming earrings, and a reputation for being unbeatable. But Xu Gushen soon discovers that this “student” has another side no one knows about.

When Tang Xi is covered in wounds, he looks up and sees Xu Gushen.

“Xu Gushen, do you pity me?”

“No. I ache for you.”

“Every road I’ve walked with you matters. None of them were a mistake.” Xu Gushen writes these words on a graffiti wall.

Lei Ting & Yu Xinle

Lei Ting grew up alongside Tang Xi. Tough on the outside but soft-hearted inside, he one day passes by a station and meets Yu Xinle, an angel who has just arrived in town. It is love at first sight, but his feelings leave him at a loss.

A tough, streetwise guy from a struggling family meets an innocent, pure-hearted angel. Lei Ting has no idea how to respond to Yu Xinle's unreserved kindness. When Yu Xinle insists on pulling him out of the darkness, the walls around Lei Ting's heart begin to crumble.

“Lei Ting, could you ever like a guy?”

“Don't cry, Yu Xinle. Don't cry.”
