Hitomi Shigure, a fourteen-year-old "genius girl" who accidentally won the gold medal in a professional painting competition. On the podium, she endured not only honors, but also doubts, ridicules and malicious speculations that were beyond her age. From then on, she closed herself off and gave up painting.
At the age of sixteen, she was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in Mingsui City. Accompanied by Qingmei Cheng Weiling, she was forced to join the "Weiran Painting Club", which was known for its strictness. Here, she met Lin Xiaoye, who was cold and inexpressive, Feng Muran, who was gentle and attentive, and Wei Ling who always stood by her side.
When Xiaoye recognized Shigure as the author of the painting that inspired her, when Muran silently noticed the unspoken scars in Shigure's heart, when Weiling used her own way to protect this close friend she had grown up with - the four girls completed a gentle healing together in the daily life of brushes and colors.
This is a story about the weight of talent, the lightness of recognition, and how to rediscover yourself in the eyes of others.
Purpose: This article tells the story of Hitomi Shigure, a talented girl who gave up painting because she was questioned after winning the award. Accompanied by her childhood sweetheart Cheng Weiling, transfer student Lin Xiaoye, and classmate Feng Muran, she gradually got out of her psychological shadow, picked up her paintbrush, and pursued her dream with her companions. The work explores themes of trauma and healing, self-acceptance and connection with others.
