The heroine, Lin Kong, is a top-level science genius. She won the International Mathematical Olympiad gold medal and an offer from MIT in the north of Qing Dynasty in her freshman year of high school. However, she insisted on giving up the recommendation and returned to the parallel class, just to study philosophy for the college entrance examination.
She lives in her own spiritual space, sober and alienated. She does not cater to her parents or worldly expectations. She would rather hide the fact that she was expelled, break up with her family, and live in an Internet cafe.
The male protagonist, Jiang Tianse, is a transfer school bully who is rumored to have a history of bullying. He is unruly and aloof. He sleeps in class and works in an Internet cafe at night to make a living. His body is prickly but he hides a delicate and gentle character.
In the hot afternoon with the chirping of cicadas, he became the only empty seat next to Lin Kong.
"Man is thrown into the world, but we can proactively plan and become what you are."
Lin Kong has been resisting the shackles of her family treating her as an "investment". A slap from her mother shattered her pretended numbness. The glimpse of the river and sky in the backlight of the office became the lightning that split the fog in her dull youth.
On a rainy night, she had nowhere to go and hid in an Internet cafe, uncovering the secret of his part-time job; the girls in the dormitory accepted her ideals; the sweetheart and gentle psychology senior kept silent; the seemingly irritable class teacher saw through her lies but chose to be tolerant.
There is no industrial saccharine. The loneliness, confusion, resistance, and being understood in youth are all written in a delicate and heart-wrenching way.
The wildly grown action school bully x the intellectually alienated thinker genius
Color and emptiness, hustle and bustle and solitude, two completely opposite souls have become anchors in each other's wandering world. Form is not empty, you are also the proof of my existence.
Intention: A youthful practice about retrieving one's true nature and fighting against alienation.
