Xia Qing is the most unremarkable top student at school, but in games, she's a formidable player feared by all.
She is used to enduring in silence: her parents' neglect, her classmates' mockery, and the shadow of bullying at school. She swallows it all without a word.
Her only ray of light is her best friend Banmeng, bright and bold, who always stands up for her and shields her from every cruelty.
Mu Bai is the school's undisputed heartthrob, aloof and distinguished, with top grades, yet he always appears when Xia Qing is at her most miserable. He has been secretly in love with her for a long time, but has never dared to approach her.
Then, after a game goes awry, Xia Qing accidentally crosses school bully Xu Yi, and he sets his sights on her.
She thinks he'll take revenge, but instead he gradually falls for her.
The relationship between the three is delicate and dangerous.
Mu Bai holds back, restraining himself, and only dares to gaze at her tenderly when no one is around.
Xu Yi is brash and carefree, pressing closer at every step, yet with her alone, he keeps his sharp edges in check.
Xia Qing treads carefully, afraid to touch any of their feelings.
But fate gives her no time to hesitate.
Someone sets Banmeng up. Damaging photos spread like wildfire around school, and in the end, she chooses to take poison and kill herself.
Xia Qing's world collapses completely.
She stands on the rooftop, the cold wind cutting to the bone, tears blurring her vision.
"If I disappeared too, would anyone remember me?"
