A continuation of As Brilliant as the Sun. In a sentence: In time, the sun learned to lean on someone, and the one who had chased the light became his only harbor.
Everyone says Lin Yusen is a flawless sun, giving others light without ever casting a shadow.
But after marrying him, Nie Xiguang gradually begins to feel the weight behind his gentleness. It turns out that even the brightest light can be a quiet kind of burning.
Then, one rainy night, she finds him sitting alone in his dark study, his shoulders slumped. It is a weariness she has never seen before, one that belongs to “Dr. Lin.”
Nie Xiguang doesn't turn on the light. She simply wraps her arms around him from behind.
“Lin Yusen, starting today, I have one more dream.”
“...What is it?”
“I don't want to be the sunlight beneath your wings anymore. I want to be a star beside you, or even... a shady tree where you can rest once in a while.”
It turns out the best kind of love isn't about me shining on you. When we stand together, we become our own universe, able to weather every storm.
