A gentle little snake baby X a domineering little tiger.
Xie Luo is the only female lead in this book.
She was born into a troubled, violent family, and her guilt toward her mother made her blame herself for everything that went wrong.
Through childhood, middle school, and even high school, she was always alone. Afraid of the dark, she thought she was being dramatic. After years without affirmation and enduring beatings, she came to see every beautiful thing in the night as a "monster," a man-eating devil, a bee.
She never knew she had persecutory delusions. She took everything other people did as a veiled attack on her. Having grown up in such an environment and never receiving love, she believed even other people's gentle looks and words meant to drive a wedge between people.
Perhaps Heaven didn't want her to live in darkness forever, because Yue Mingxi appeared. She wasn't someone else at all. She was the person Xie Luo longed to become: confident, optimistic, intelligent, beautiful, generous, brave, rebellious, kind, and unbothered by what others said. She was the ideal version of herself.
From that day on, the lonely shadow was illuminated. But even as her life kept getting better, she found herself falling uncontrollably in love with that nonexistent girl...
