[A Cheerful Girl in Disguise + Gloomy, Insecure Boy + School Life + Mutual Redemption + Ensemble Cast] Not a wish-fulfillment story
When Wen Li was seventeen, she kept dreaming that she died in a winter reed marsh.
Snow buried her bones, and she could never make out the face of the boy holding her tightly.
Then transfer student Tan Yan appeared.
He wore hearing aids and was the school's outcast, a “mad dog” surrounded by rumors.
He was also the other person responsible for the car accident seven years ago that took her loved one from her.
Everyone said Tan Yan was dangerous, filthy, and not worth getting close to.
But Wen Li smiled and approached him, stood up to the rumors for him, held an umbrella over him in the rain, and said with shining eyes, “I think you're a pretty good person.”
“Wen Li,” Tan Yan always warned her, “don't come near me.”
But whenever Wen Li turned away, Tan Yan's gaze never left her. He always hoped she would look back.
Tan Yan had lived in darkness for too long. He didn't deserve to touch the sun.
She barged into his life with an ulterior motive.
He knew it was a trap, yet willingly let himself fall into it.
Until the truth came out, and Wen Li laid bare his wounds and shame for everyone to see.
In front of them all, she smiled coldly. “Tan Yan, you disgust me.”
In the depths of the night, he trapped her in a corner and brushed his icy fingertips over her trembling lips.
“Wen Li,” he said hoarsely, finally exposing the months-long lie. “You're a terrible actress.”
Wen Li turned her face away, her voice full of weariness and impatience. “It was just a game. Why did you take it seriously?”
The next second, he pressed his burning forehead to her trembling shoulder. His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was almost pleading. “Don't leave me, Wen Li. I'm about to go crazy holding back.”
