He Jinmian is a "porcelain doll" living in a glass dome. Her life is filled with the smell of disinfectant due to congenital heart disease, and she takes every step carefully. Ji Hanzhou is a "ruin boy" who has been abandoned by life. He carries bricks at the construction site and makes his home among the ruins, carrying the burden of survival with his rough hands.
An unexpected fainting in a cram school brought people from two worlds to intersect. Ji Hanzhou took He Jinmian into the secret shelter in the ruins, where there were insect specimens made by himself, which hid the young man's unique delicacy and tenderness. The stay on a rainy night, the lecture under candlelight, and the gift of a cicada specimen made He Jinmian see the stubbornness of life in Ji Hanzhou, and also allowed Ji Hanzhou to understand the desire behind the fragility in He Jinmian's eyes.
One is afraid of death but longs to live, the other is struggling but working hard to survive. They are at opposite ends of the city, lighting each other's way with each other's light. He Jinmian stole the light from the ruins, and Ji Hanzhou picked up the star in the glass cover. A summer story about redemption and growth quietly unfolded amidst the chirping of cicadas.
Purpose: redemption
