Chen Yutong once praised Xia Mu from the orphanage as a "little princess" and spent ten years of companionship to create the illusion of warmth. Until Bai Yueguang and Xu Jianing returned home, the words "You are not even qualified to be a substitute" shattered everything. When Xia Mu was abandoned, she only heard the cold declaration of "I will never see you again in this life".
From the rejection in the orphanage to the glimmer of light in the studio, from the hardship of making a living part-time to the perseverance of establishing a studio, Xia Mu used the brush as a blade to find direction in the darkness. Years later, when they reunited with the downcast Chen Yutong and the alienated Xu Jianing, she was no longer the little girl who longed for recognition. When the truth is revealed, there is no hatred or forgiveness. Only "Sunflowers Against the Light" contains the answer to her life that blooms on her own.
