【Two Female Leads + Bittersweet Slow Burn + Mutual Salvation + School Life】
A painful coming-of-age story, grounded in reality. Not a wish-fulfillment story, but a quiet kind of heartbreak.
On her seventeenth birthday, Lu Yao showed up outside her father’s mistress’s home with a bucket of red paint.
That night, she met a girl at the edge of the rooftop.
Later, she came into possession of the girl’s diary.
She wanted to return it, only to learn from someone else that the girl had died three years ago.
Impossible. She had seen her just a few days earlier...
The diary told of a childhood in which her mother tried to strangle her, and a youth swallowed by rumors.
Yet on its final page, she still held on to hope.
A diary that chronicled a tragic life, a circle that began with salvation and ended in death, and a murder case buried for many years.
Two interwoven storylines tell of someone carrying another person’s life within her and learning how to breathe over the long years that remain.
