(1)
Five years ago, in the ice and snow,
He Yue accidentally witnessed a boy being abused at home. She didn't want to get involved, but her conscience made her turn back.
Back then, Wei Linfeng didn't know that this girl, who seemed to come from a well-off family, was also struggling to find her place in the city, slowly having her rough edges worn away.

Five years later, in the blazing summer heat,
Their paths cross again, bringing an old story back to the surface. The secret the girl has tried so hard to hide becomes known to everyone.
A monster?
A shameful past?
She hides among the light and shadows of midsummer, no longer the spirited girl she once was.
But the boy leads her into the light.
-Don't be afraid. I'm always here.
-Yes, I'm here.
Who protected whom?
And who brought warmth to the passing years?
Headstrong girl X aloof boy
