Xiangyang's Wound (I originally wanted to write a romance film, but the more I wrote, the more I realized it was not a romance)
Sixteen-year-old Shen Han grew up hastily in the shadow of campus violence and his original family. She is like a thorn growing in a swamp, covering up her inferiority complex with flattery and gluttony, constantly falling into twisted "toxic friendships", and clumsily longing to be loved.
Until she met Gao Yu, the venomous, dazzling boy who had everything she desired. He was like a bright light shining into her muddy life. She looked up to him almost religiously, imitated him, and wrote him into secret novels as an illusory salvation.
But when the thorns are close to the light, the first thing they feel is the burning pain. His perfection left her own brokenness nowhere to hide, and his gentleness and sharpness made her throb and frightened. As her dependence deepened, she realized that when she was young, she shouldn't meet someone who was too stunning.
This is not a fairy tale where a prince saves Cinderella.
This is a story about scars, looking up, pain and true growth.
They are two imperfect souls, in a world full of misunderstandings, learning how to feed each other - and how to love first the self that has never been properly loved.
If love is an adventure, this is the first clumsy guide she mustered up the courage to hand out.
