Jiang Yuqi never imagined that a familiar silhouette from behind would make her start paying attention to a boy named Xie Haoyu. At first, she was simply projecting the shadow of an old crush onto him. But as she watched him day after day, she began to notice the real, vibrant person beneath: the tips of his ears turning red whenever he blushed, the little way he touched his nose when he was nervous, and his quiet, gentle gaze. From high school to university, from classmates to a long-distance relationship, how did a crush that began with a stand-in silhouette quietly grow into a love pursued by both sides? This is a story about youth, unrequited love, and growing up, and about a girl learning to understand both herself and the person she loves as her heart stirs.
Theme: Learning to understand yourself when your heart is stirred, and finding the courage to love as you grow.
