All female leads
When the world is shrouded in gray mist, life and death are merely two ways the same rain can fall.
Su Wumu, who should have died ten years ago, had her fragmented soul retrieved from the ruins by an ancient elemental origin god. She traded her five senses as an offering for power drawn from the source of divinity. Ten years later, she entered Cangnan No. 2 High School beneath a black umbrella, searching for someone. Someone from a prophecy. If she could fulfill his wish, there was a chance she could regain her sacrificed senses one by one.
“What color are maple leaves?”
“Warm. Like flames, like the setting sun. When October comes, I’ll tell you.”
[Nightfall]
When the dark night finally descends
He stands before tens of thousands, while she comes from behind them, holding an umbrella as she walks beside him.
Dusk is sunset, the fading light of day, the ending and stillness hidden in her name.
Night is the dead of night, when all is silent, the darkness and solitude carved into his bones.
Dusk deepens toward evening, daylight retreats, and the last trace of light in the world sinks away.
Long night falls, darkness spreads, and the world is enveloped in boundless silence.
She leads him into the world; he gives her the rest of his life.
She is the beginning of nightfall; he is nightfall itself.
Their meeting was no coincidence, but an inevitability of time:
Without dusk, night cannot come;
Without night, dusk has nowhere to return.
But beneath the night sky
Dusk fades and night rises, day and night taking turns.
They follow one another, yet can never exist at the same time.
She waits for him at dusk; he seeks her in the dead of night.
Though they share the same sky, an entire dusk lies between them.
A lifetime spent rushing toward each other,
A lifetime spent missing the daylight,
A lifetime able to embrace only in boundless darkness.
