"The Summer We Never Speak of"
That summer, the chirping of cicadas hid the secrets of four people.
Chi Xi, who was suffering from depression, attempted to end her life. She was accidentally bound to a mysterious system and traveled to a high school in a parallel world.
"By conquering the perfect top student Shen Tinglan, you will gain true relief."
But she didn't know that the stakes in this strategy game were her entire life.
"Stay close to me, you will regret it." Shen Tinglan said softly as she passed by.
The sunny and cheerful Jiang Ye always likes to tease his childhood sweetheart Su Lian: "Hey, if you are not married when you are thirty, I will reluctantly take you in."
Little did he know that this joke would never come true.
No one ever emerges unscathed from the gambling table.
The meeting under the sycamore tree that year was the most beautiful beginning of youth and the cruelest joke of fate.
If we had known the outcome a long time ago, would we still have said those words to each other on that noisy afternoon with the cicadas chirping:
"Hello, nice to meet you."
Later, we all became the most familiar strangers in each other's lives.
Purpose: Love and redemption
