Xia He is introverted, sensitive, insecure, socially anxious and prone to random thoughts.
She hid in her room writing novels, practicing makeup in front of the mirror, and hid her worries in the glimmer of star chasing. She was so suppressed by her family of origin that she dared not look up, and was confused about the future.
Until I met Shen Zhiyu——
He is quiet, gentle, and measured. He does not force her to socialize, does not laugh at her cowardice, understands all her insecurities and vulnerabilities, supports the stories she writes, appreciates the makeup in her hands, and accompanies her to slowly step out of the shadows.
There is no cruelty, no boss, only the company of a steady flow of water.
From inferiority and timidity to bravery and independence, from being bound to running for freedom.
She finally understood: You don't have to be dazzling to be preferred; you don't have to be perfect to be worthy of being loved.
