Cold and unruly stray dog x aloof genius with a warm heart
Han Yeyuan and Xu Zhengxi both draw boundaries. One hides his sense of abandonment behind arrogance; the other conceals his feelings of inadequacy beneath a cool exterior. And yet, time and again, they cross those boundaries.
Not each other’s boundaries, but the defenses built around the belief that they aren’t worthy.
“How do two people who believe they don’t deserve love learn to accept each other’s warmth without guilt?”
It turns out that all my darkness, jealousy, and saying one thing while meaning another aren’t obstacles to love. They’re the price of admission.
You have to admit it before you can deserve it.
“You can come to me with every shadow you carry, because I’ve never lived in the light either.”
Two sharp-edged souls leave each other battered, yet learn to lean on each other. They are each other’s trials, and each other’s only salvation. This is a story of youth about boundaries and crossing them, opposition and protection.
