Synopsis
[Original family trauma] [15-year-old online acquaintance] [Meet each other in January] [Add contact information on January 19] [Fall in the second half of the year] [New Year's Eve agreement] [Two-way redemption in a different place] The broken stars hidden in childhood finally met the gentle falling snow across the mountains and seas at the other end of the network cable at the age of fifteen. The cobwebs of his native family entangled Shen Xingci throughout his boyhood. His father's harsh words were like rough sand, rubbing away the childishness in his eyes, but not the desire for warmth in his heart. The prejudice on campus was like a tide. He grasped the light in his mother's eyes and moved step by step in the darkness, thinking that he would always be a lone star in a dark alley. It wasn't until the cold winter when he was fifteen that an accidental social media post led to him and Su Muxue from a different place quickly getting acquainted within a month - from unfamiliar interactions with likes to tentative private messages, two lonely hearts slowly came closer to each other on both sides of the screen. On January 19, he carefully sent a friend application with the remark "Broken Star", and she approved in seconds. His profile picture was of a sky filled with snow, and his signature read "Waiting for a gentle encounter." Sharing across the screen, from daily trivial matters to secrets in the heart, the young man's heartbeat quietly fermented in the distance. In the second half of the year, they officially confirmed their relationship, and their online companionship day and night lasted forever, turning "like" into an obsession engraved in their hearts. The evening breeze of late autumn blew in through the window, and he typed on the phone screen: "Seven years later, on New Year's Eve, I will marry you." At that time, he had not yet escaped from the cocoon of fate, but he dared to put the promise of the rest of his life into the network signal; while Su Muxue looked at the words on the other side of the screen, tapped "OK", and with this agreement, she became an island waiting to return in her time away from home. Over the past seven years, tickets to different places have piled up into a mountain, chat records have been stored on several mobile phones, good night has been said countless times on video calls, and the handwriting on the old paper has been blurred by tears and dried. Shen Xingci surged hard in the wave of life, climbed out of the quagmire of his original family, and built an ideal city-state with his own hands; Su Muxue kept the promise, hiding his tenderness as a lamp in the trough, dispersing the fog on the road ahead. On the day of their reunion, which happened to be the eve of New Year's Eve, he stood in front of her, his youthful youthfulness faded from his brows and eyes, but he was still the star in her memory. There is friction hidden in the folds of getting along day and night, the childhood scars under his calm appearance, and the loneliness in the years when she kept her promise, all are slowly unfolding in the pull of each other. But those sharpened edges were eventually sharpened into a fitting arc by love - he was her boat, carrying her through the dark alleys of the trough; she was his shore, catching the lonely courage he had spent half his life. When the seven-year promise fell into the fireworks of New Year's Eve, Shen Xingci understood that the broken stars hidden under the textbooks in childhood never shone alone; Su Muxue finally understood that the snow she was waiting for was originally for the lonely stars. The shimmering stars of childhood will eventually meet the snow that belongs to him, and this snow will accompany him through the years and become the gentlest destination in his life. Purpose: Taking Shen Xingci's seven-year growth trajectory as the core, it explores the trauma of the original family and the struggle of human nature under the pressure of reality. Through the two-way narrative of "redemption" (self-healing and mutual redemption) and "chasing the crematorium of love" (emotional regret and compensation), it explores the possibility of ordinary people sticking to goodwill in difficult situations, breaking the shackles of reality, and finally realizing self-growth and emotional perfection. It has both realistic texture and healing power.
The characters in the novel are not thin. The characters have their own distinct personalities, unique destiny, and presence that cannot be ignored. Give them room to shine and grow. It has a profound exploration of human nature, making the characters no longer just characters on paper, but lifelike, as if they really exist around us. It's great. I like it so much.
