Jiang Xin'ai doesn't like her name. It has a lovely meaning, yet feels like a half-hearted choice. Her parents say they love her, but never truly do. Instead, it seems as if she was born with a mission, existing only to live up to her name. The words she heard most as a child were: "You're Mommy and Daddy's most beloved daughter, so you have to learn to sleep by yourself. You can't cry whenever you want. You need to put your toys away nicely... or we won't love you anymore."
In middle school, Shang Yao was someone Jiang Xin'ai admired. But after just one summer vacation, he became the son of her father's mistress.
She studied furiously to get into the city's top high school because of him, all so she could get close to him and then destroy him. She wanted to reclaim some semblance of fairness for her troubled family, and even if they both ended up hurt, she would have no regrets.
At sixteen, Jiang Xin'ai was a student at a top high school, the thread holding her family together, and a tool for revenge. But she was never herself. Then Ji Zeyuan appeared, bringing her face-to-face with her truest self. After all their twists and turns, they still couldn't avoid running into each other again.
Years later, what she still cherishes is this turbulent youth.
Theme: This is the story of three high school students growing up through radiant, headstrong moments, bitter pain, and tangled love and hate. Even through a turbulent youth, they keep stumbling forward with courage.
