Before getting to know Fang Zhuo, Yan Lie thought she was poor, ill-tempered, gloomy, and so sensitive that no one could get close to her. She seemed like a shadow.

After getting to know Fang Zhuo, Yan Lie discovered that she was meticulous to a fault, steadfast and never willing to turn back, and so hardworking she never stopped. She was a little sun, radiating vitality at every moment.

Yan Lie: ...Wow!

Fang Zhuo thought of herself as a sunflower growing in obscurity. Even if she poured all her energy into growing, she was still the smallest and shortest of them all. The rushing river called Fate left her so exhausted that she had no time even to think about how unfair life was.

Then one day, a little sun suddenly appeared, focusing on her and shining down on her twenty-four hours a day.

Fang Zhuo: Huh...?

Life is a long road beneath the fading glow of dusk, and I’m striving to chase the light.
