"Some people approach you, not to save you, but to possess the light that grows from the crack."
Sixteen-year-old Lin Yi is a trapped beast living in the ruins.
The buzzing of the deafness in his right ear is his background sound, and his father's gambling debt is the knife hanging above his head. He was used to being abandoned and built a high wall with indifference. The only weapon was the paintbrush in his hand, painting with light that no one could see in the darkness.
Until Lu Qifeng appeared.
The transfer student with a prominent family background, who was so perfect that he was almost cold, could see through all his disguises at a glance. Lu Qifeng said: "You paint very well and should not be buried."
He forcefully broke into Lin Yi's desolate world, gave him a studio, gave him shelter, and blocked all malice for him. He was like a beam of bright light, shining indiscriminately into Lin Yi's ruins.
But if the light is too bright, it will burn you.
Lin Yi wanted to escape - Lu Qifeng's "goodness" carried an undeniable desire for control, like a gentle cage. The closer he got, the more frightened Lin Yi became, fearing that this would be another abandonment called "redemption".
Lu Qifeng pressed forward step by step: "Lin Yi, you can be afraid of me, but you can't abandon me."
After countless pushes, pulls and confrontations, the trapped beast in the ruins finally removed its spikes.
Lin Yi discovered that this seemingly perfect, favored son of heaven also had cracks in his heart - Lu Qifeng's paranoia towards him stemmed from an almost pathological desire for "purity". They are each other's mirrors, one longs for light in the darkness, and the other seeks truth in the light.
When past debts and secrets strike again, when the game called "love" reaches its climax,
Lu Qifeng held his hand tightly in the heavy rain: "This time, it's your choice. Do you want to follow me, or be left behind again?"
Lin Yi looked at those dark brown eyes and did not avoid them for the first time.
"If you dare to let go, I will kill you."
——This is a story about love and redemption.
——It is also a story of two broken souls clumsily learning to love each other on top of the ruins.
Intention: The light that grows in the ruins only counts if it is ignited by itself.
