At the beginning of the third year of high school, a rope of fate called "One Gang One" tied the first place Lin Xiao and the last place Jiang Ye in the darkest corner of the classroom.
Lin Xiao is a "question-solving machine" trapped in her mother's high-pressure expectations. She is as silent as a cocoon. Only scores are the oxygen for her survival. Jiang Ye is a "school bully" wandering on the edge of punishment. He is covered in scars and anger, like a lone wolf expelled from the world. He is the cold shadow she avoids; she is the fragile bookworm he scorns.
The narrow desk separated the boundary between Chu and Han, isolating the two worlds that were on the verge of suffocation.
However, an unexpected glimpse outside the school tore through the disguise. Lin Xiao saw Jiang Ye's concentration and embarrassment under the oil stains of the car repair shop; Jiang Ye witnessed Lin Xiao's silent collapse in tears in the corner of the rooftop. When the rumors turned into sharp arrows, when the heavy shackles of the original family were severely smashed, in a life-and-death crisis, Lin Xiao finally broke through the cage of fear, and for the first time, faced his cold mother and desperate Jiang Ye, and gave out a cry of "himself".
