[BE Warning] [No Clichéd Drama] [Realistic Coming-of-Age Romance]
The two things Lin Wan fears most in life are the dark and reaching above her station.
Jiang Yu leaves the light on at her desk for a whole year and remembers how she likes her coffee with less sugar for a whole year, pulling her out of the dark alley she has walked through for over a decade.
She thinks that light will shine for the rest of her life.
Until that meal, when his mother asks, "Jiangxia County?"
Until he agrees to his family's wishes without asking her: "She'll come back with me."
She smiles and shakes her head. "I don't want to be Mrs. Jiang. I want to be Engineer Lin."
Later, when she lights her own lamp, she finally understands:
Some lights shine just once, for someone in particular.
Once is enough.
