Zhu Chengli never imagined she would meet Sheng Siheng again in a hospital.
She was the patient, and he was her therapist.
That day, Zhu Chengli wore a mask and kept her head down, silently hoping over and over that he wouldn't recognize her.
But during those few seconds of silence between them, Zhu Chengli felt him take her left wrist. His large, cold, trembling hand slowly traced the numerous old and new scars on her skin.
Sheng Siheng looked at the thin girl before him, his eyes turning completely red. "You lied to me. You're not doing well."

Zhu Chengli's memory had grown poor, but she never forgot that summer when she was eighteen and Sheng Siheng pulled her down from the roof of the school building and held her tightly in his arms.
His voice, silent for so long, was hoarse beyond words. He said, "Hey, deskmate. Don't be foolish. Keep living."
He had used all his strength to pull her out of the abyss.
Afterward, Zhu Chengli tried hard to live well and to shatter with her own hands the person she had once been, reflected in the mirror.
In the end, she broke the mirror and shattered the person reflected in it, believing that her former self would cease to exist.
But she was wrong. Among the mirror shards scattered across the floor, her face was still reflected: thousands upon thousands of versions of her former self. She could pick up any one of them and easily use it to kill who she was now.

Tips:
1. There is a reason the male lead is the heroine's doctor in the blurb. She was not originally booked to see him.
2. The male lead was called "Little Mute" in high school because of his family circumstances and his tendency to say very little, not because he couldn't speak.
3. Mainly set at school, then shifts to the city later.
