Xie Sun, the “crazy delinquent king” no one at A University dared to cross, had silver hair with dyed highlights and rebellious piercings. He was the wind-chasing “Night Falcon” of the underground racing scene, as well as the mysterious lead singer who set the Livehouse alight with his raspy voice. Fierce and untamable, he was always surrounded by three hot-blooded, loyal brothers.
Downstairs from his penthouse lived Shen Qing, a top student in the Chinese department. Gentle and serene, she was the traditional-Chinese-style blogger “Nianqing,” a top-tier star with a million followers. Her ethereal konghou performances and exquisite kesi silk weaving made her a torchbearer of intangible cultural heritage. Orphaned young, she had moved in with relatives to continue her studies after her grandmother passed away, facing life with unyielding resolve.
An accidental helping hand on a stormy night brought the neighbors’ fates together. Xie Sun made an exception for her in everything: he would get up early to queue for breakfast and stay up late copying notes by hand. Shen Qing, in turn, gave him a kesi guitar pick and a hand-sewn charm for his safety. She also patiently helped mend his frozen relationship with his parents.
As Shen Qing and her best friend Lin Xi became part of Xie Sun’s group, the seven of them formed a lively, close-knit circle. Xie Sun and Shen Qing drew closer as they saved each other; his rebelliousness softened under her tenderness, and her resilience found a place to call home. Lu Ran and Lin Xi also developed feelings for each other as they spent more and more time together.
Tradition collided with modern trends, and those starved for love found common ground with the resilient. On the campus of A University, they wrote a youthful story of friendship, love, and growing up, striking the most passionate chord through the special affection and companionship they found in one another.
