Lin Xuan's youth is a silent film. To outsiders, she is quiet, obedient, and a vague shadow among the top students. No one knew that under the hanging cuffs of her school uniform, there were scars of fighting the pain in her heart. Her world was crucified by her father's harsh words that "one should be in the top ten in grade". Only her mother, who is as open-minded as a sister, is her only light.
Pei Yu is a star in another parallel world. He is brilliant and is in the same class as the outstanding Jiang Lige. He is the pride of heaven in the eyes of everyone. By chance, Pei Yu glimpsed the cracks hidden under Lin Xuan's perfect appearance - the girl licking her wounds alone in the corner of the library, making him unable to look away.
What started as a curious approach gradually evolved into a collision of two worlds. When Lin Xuan tried to touch the sunshine with Pei Yu's company, the pressure from her parents, Jiang Lige's confusion and competition, and the collective anxiety brought by the "Sharp Knife Class" pushed her deeper into the abyss...
This is a difficult journey about self-help and redemption in the sea of questions and rankings. Lin Xuan must finally understand that true growth is not to be admitted to the "sharp knife class", but to have the courage to say to herself: "I am good, I don't have to be perfect."
Intention: to emerge from the cocoon and become a butterfly, to reconcile with the imperfect self.
