In the innocent, uncertain days of youth, who hasn't had a crush? We give everything with all the passion and affection we can muster, but a secret love is the most painful of all. We have no right to get close or show our affection.
Chen Shouwang grew up in the mud. He was a poor student from an impoverished family, and he felt unworthy even of liking someone. Lin Zhiyi was one of the top ten students in their grade, a moon he could never reach. From the ninth grade through high school, he watched her go farther and farther ahead while life kept him rooted in place. But he refused to accept his fate. No matter how muddy the road ahead, he would struggle to his feet. This is a story of unrequited love, insecurity, and growing up: the feelings left unspoken, the distance he could never close, and the long nights he had to face alone.
