Chen Piao was lucky enough to meet, in her youth, someone who would leave her dazzled for the rest of her life. He was confident and sunny, gracious and kind, cheerful and openhearted. His world was filled with spring sunshine and dazzling light. Chen Piao, on the other hand, was cold and indifferent, her deep-seated insecurities and childhood shadows leaving her seemingly uninterested in everything. Apart from her strikingly beautiful face and a reputation for being dull, she had nothing...
Two people who seemed to have nothing in common met because of a case of school bullying...
“If you don’t fight back, you’re as good as dead...”
The first time Cheng Zhou saw Chen Piao, she was saying those words to a boy. He thought that such a frail figure had delivered a truth so sharp and direct.
Cheng Zhou admired Chen Piao from the bottom of his heart. That was how he came to know her, but nothing more.
Then one day, Chen Piao suddenly understood her own feelings...
From then on, year after year, Chen Piao tried to keep up with Cheng Zhou, staying neither too far nor too close, neither cold nor so close that she would get burned, watching as he showed off his talents with such carefree confidence.
And in the end, she became a passerby he vaguely seemed to recognize, but could never quite remember...
I met him, radiant and dazzling, when I was buried in the deepest darkness. I knew his world was meant to be brilliant and bright, with everyone admiring him. And I was always just a nameless person outside his world.
