[HE | Three-year age gap]
[Sensitive, possessive younger blind girl × Gentle, steadfast older woman, the light of her life]
Xu Yuan was a blind little doll no one wanted.
But that person gently lifted her face in the darkness and told her firmly, “Don’t be afraid. I’m your big sister, and I’ll always protect you.”
From then on, a ray of light found its way into the little blind girl’s heart.
When she was fifteen, that voice turned hysterical, each word crashing into her heart: “You’re nothing but a burden. You cling to me like a ghost every single day, and I can’t get rid of you! Do you really want to ruin my whole life? If you leave now, I’ll get a huge sum of money! Please, do me a favor and let me go!”

At twenty-four, Xu Yuan is an internationally renowned painter with several major awards to her name.
Her vision is no longer blurry and muddled. The darkness has lifted, and she can see.
Nine years later, that voice she could never forget in her life rings in her ears again.
Once, all she could do was chase that light through the darkness. This time, she will trap in her palm the very light that once illuminated her darkness and then crushed her utterly.

The day after returning to Yuncheng, Xu Yuan sprains her ankle. Zhou Yi kindly brings her some medicinal oil, unaware that she’s walked straight into a tiger’s den.
Xu Yuan: Would you do anything for money?
Zhou Yi: ...
Xu Yuan: Then I’ll pay you. You can be with me*
Zhou Yi: !?!?!?!?
[The present and past timelines alternate. Angst early on, then extremely sweet.]
Theme: Only by refusing to give up on loving yourself can you learn how to love others.
