The wind is rising. This story follows Chen Xin's growth during her student years.
Growing up seems to happen in an instant. It doesn't take some earth-shattering experience, or years of accumulated wisdom. It just happens in that moment, and suddenly, you're an adult.
Every time she stood at the edge of a cliff, the abyss silently spread beneath her feet, and she came close to leaping into the void.
