Shen Yuchu's life was like a chess piece tossed repeatedly by fate.
In her childhood, she curled up into a shadow in the cold eyes of her family, and the three years of bullying in high school dragged her into a bottomless abyss - until Lu Xingci appeared, like a ray of light that split through the thick fog, allowing her to get a glimpse of what "being cared about" looked like for the first time.
College is a rare sunny period in her life. The warmth of her roommate was like a spring drizzle, soaking into her dry heart bit by bit, and the sound of the piano flowing through her fingertips became wings, supporting her to fly out of the mire and become the youngest piano teacher. She thought she could finally hold onto the long-lasting light.
But Fu Jinnian's appearance was like a sudden rainstorm. He approached with a fatal attraction, dragging her from the high ground where she finally stood firmly into the deeper mire again. The wounds that had finally been healed were torn open again, and the corners that were once illuminated were filled with shadows. In the end, the light borrowed from Lu Xingci and the warmth accumulated by his roommates could not withstand the boundless despair.
She stopped breathing in the winter of her twenty-fifth year. The piano lid was open, and the last note was frozen in the air, like an unheard sigh.
