Su Wanqing has an average appearance, average grades, and an introverted personality. In her youth, she only had endless homework and exams to take. She buried all her passionate fantasies in novels: there was redemption, and there was also the love and recognition she had never received.
A year later, she unexpectedly reunited with Jiang Yichen, a popular figure on campus, in the library. They both still remembered the brief encounter a year ago, but they pretended to be just "new friends."
Love is like fireworks, but it is forcibly torn apart by family, future and misunderstanding; when they meet again, she has learned to refuse first, and he has also learned to let go.
When Su Wanqing was sitting alone at a concert with thousands of people, and was asked by the host "Why do you love reading novels so much?", She smiled and replied:
"Because my youth had no light, and novels lent me the light."
At that moment, she finally let go: loss and gain together carve a better self; love is not the end, growth is.
Jiang Yichen raised his glass far away in the crowd of people at the end of the audience - each other's well-being was the last tenderness they gave each other.
