On an ordinary night, high school senior Guo Rongli wakes up on an unfamiliar mountain path. Beneath the moonlight, Bai Xianya, her hair as white as snow, reaches out to her and softly asks, "Miss, why are you here all alone?"
That was the first time they met.
Guo Rongli transmigrates into another world, not into the martial world or onto a battlefield, but into a place called the Bai family. Bai Xianya is the head of the Bai family, eighteen years old, and at the peak of the Mahayana realm. She is poised and composed, highly skilled in martial arts, and able to balance the accounts down to the last detail. On New Year's Eve, she can also sit alone while the food grows cold. Her white hair is natural, and so is her silence. Guo Rongli can't fight, keep accounts, cook, or sew. She's just an ordinary high school student whose social media posts don't even get likes. But she can draw comics, perform first aid, take Bai Xianya's hand when she pulls away, and crouch beside her when she cries curled up in a corner, saying nothing, just keeping her company.
This isn't a story about a transmigrated heroine rising to power, nor a formulaic tale about winning over an icy beauty. It's a story about catching someone when they fall. Someone who is used to swallowing her feelings finally meets a person willing to wait until she speaks of her own accord; someone afraid of being forgotten finally meets a person who remembers every expression she makes. They play at being ghosts and chase each other around the treasure pavilion, laugh like children in the lake, and after a cold war, slap each other before crying and making up. From being afraid to speak to daring to speak, from being afraid to touch to interlocking fingers, it takes them two volumes.
The road is long, but if you keep walking, you'll get there.
"Though the road is long, walk it and you'll arrive; though the task is hard, do it and you'll succeed."
Theme: Two imperfect people become each other's light by catching one another when they fall.
