Refraction Book

The day and night in Banqing Valley always alternate randomly, and there are countless broken hearts hidden here that have no place to put them. Shen Yuyao is a new counselor at Banqinggu Psychological Clinic. She has a special power that no one knows about: by touching others with her fingertips, she can extract the deepest and most secret pain in the other person's heart, and solidify the surging anxiety, regret, and guilt into transparent colorful candies, which are stored in thumb-sized glass bottles. She set a rule for herself that every memory candy must be read within seven days. Overdue emotions will distort and deteriorate, but she has never been able to understand the price of deterioration. She can clearly see the collapse hidden under the calm appearance of each visitor: the working woman who works overtime all year round and hides the regret of miscarriage alone, and a small purple star-shaped flower always blooms in the mirror; the study-weary teenager who is trapped in self-acting and hates all campus life; the insomniac middle-aged man who is fearful every night and is afraid of falling asleep; the amnesiac patient who forgets the details of his daily life all day long, but only firmly remembers the one he missed ten years ago. She can see clearly the pain of others, but she is the only one who cannot understand her own. Her drawers were filled with dozens of bottles of candies that sealed pain. The earliest one had been stored for sixty-seven days. There was only the faint sound of rain and no complete picture. An expired movie ticket from three years ago was kept close to her body, with the words "Waiting for you at the school gate at eight o'clock" written on the back. However, her own memory was forever missing and broken, and she could only rely on the pain of others to piece together the proof of her existence. Every extraction of emotion is a silent backlash, and the syrup will quietly overflow from her sleeves, stained with amber traces that are unique to her. When reading other people's memories, strange rainy days and the scent of borage at the school gate will always suddenly break into the picture. They do not belong to any visitor, but only belong to the past that she has completely forgotten. The addictive cycle of indulging in the collection of pain slowly begins, the shackles of countless others pile up on her, and the secret undercurrent of the five-domain ring world quietly surges. While she was healing visitors who were deeply troubled, she was searching for her lost self in countless broken memories. She was learning to coexist with wounds that could not be healed, and she was looking for a complete life of her own in the refraction of other people's pain. Purpose: People rely on empathy to confirm themselves, accept their own shortcomings and past regrets, face up to emotional internal friction and psychological difficulties, and gently reconcile all irreparable faults.
