Shen Ai was neglected by her family as a child, rejected by her ex-boyfriend, and even her roommates could hardly be bothered to talk to her. She got used to eating alone, going to class alone, and standing by herself on the rooftop, letting the wind blow through her hair.

For the first time, Shen Ai understood what it felt like to matter to someone.
But when Zhou Yi confessed to her in public, the campus forum erupted, and a call came from Lu Qingyan’s father, Shen Ai began to wonder: could the security she thought she’d found disappear one day, too?
