    Reader note

    The author uses her own life as the basis for this novel, written from her real diary. The female protagonist lives in a family that favors sons over daughters. During junior high school, she suffered from severe depression due to unwarranted beatings and even abuse from her mother. However, limited by her social status, she couldn't escape the control of her family, struggling for half her life in a quagmire of suffering. Set in the 1990s, the protagonist, due to her youth, timidity, and lack of courage, repeatedly rejects and avoids the male protagonist, missing out on a deeply unforgettable first love due to the constraints of her family. The story is initially sweet, then turns heartbreaking, filled with unrequited love. They fall in love at the wrong time, when they are both in school, and at the right time, their love remains unspoken. In an era without cell phones, two introverted and shy people cannot communicate, and later they lose contact, leaving the reader with a profound sense of unease.
