Synopsis
This is a novel about "growth" and "edge". On the streets of Xijiaozhou, Hua Tingyun was a child fed by hunger and danger. She has a pair of vertical pupils with black top and green bottom, a small black mole under her left eye, and her hair color is black at the top and green at the bottom, and her hair is always tilted to the right - she is a half-orc of the Mora tribe with impure blood, a street child who barely survives between the garbage dump and the second-hand bookstore. Until the admissions messenger from Dequan Girls' School found her. Dequan Girls' School, a free school for poor girls, has no male teachers and only a group of women who have also emerged from hardships guarding this pure land. With only twelve copper coins in her pocket, Hua Tingyun said goodbye to her one-eyed mother-in-law, the only one who had given her warmth in her life, and stepped into this new world. Here, for the first time, she had a clean bed, plenty of textbooks, and an ever-extinguishing fireplace; for the first time she made a friend, Ayimu, who came from the Yangtizhou grassland and generously shared her breast milk. For the first time, she met an admirable senior sister, Shen Yanqiu, who showed no emotion when facing four gangsters alone. For the first time, she ran side by side with a girl named Liu Qingqing on the playground in the early morning. For the first time, she met Qin Luoyan, a tomboy with short hair, full of mobile phone oil, and who could make magic compression cannons. She learned to read, learn arithmetic, learn history, and learn geography. She made her fingertips feel warm for the first time in the magic principles class, caught up from the last count in the physical arts class, and learned to identify the name of each herb in the forest in the wild picking class. She ranked first in her grade, and learned to listen to her classmates chatting about the origin of hearth stones while warming themselves in front of the fireplace; she experienced the death of her one-eyed mother-in-law, and understood that "when people die, they turn into wind, rain, and sunshine." But Hua Tingyun is not just a diligent top student. She is a child who grew up on the streets. She knows how to play with tabby cats with chicken feathers, how to take coins from gangsters' pockets and return half of them, and how to use her shadow-like "dark side" to explore the edge of her power under the moonlight when someone stops her. She smiled heartlessly, but there was calculation and ambition hidden in her bones. She only knows one thing now - she must seize everything this school has given her, study, be sensible, and become stronger. Because the one-eyed mother-in-law said: "Don't give up the opportunity to change your destiny just because you are afraid." Intention: Continuous self-improvement
