Lin A Duo is the kind of child who thinks a Big Bad Wolf hiding in bed is preparing a "lovely surprise" for Little Red Riding Hood. In fact, ever since she could talk at the age of four, this way of thinking had always worked wonders in her world. The teachers who scolded her, the classmates whose conversations she interrupted, the prettiest girl and most handsome boy in class, even the cousin she hated most, all ended up defeated by Lin A Duo's boundless, loving understanding. She was always the most popular center of attention in any group, forever surrounded by the love she gathered.
Until one day, Lin A Duo began to feel suffocated, too. Her endless pursuit of the adults and children who had started to look down on her always ended in love. It was exhausting, and utterly predictable. When did she first realize that?
It seemed to start the day she met Lu Qiming.
When he turned around and gave her smiling lips a sharp glance, Lin A Duo almost immediately felt as if she were suffocating. This strange guy... At first glance, he seemed no different from anyone else, except that he was someone she could never "win over."
But how could that be possible? Lin A Duo refused to believe it. She knew everyone had a vulnerable side, a place where they felt unloved, and she knew exactly how to probe it without raising their guard. You could say she had mastered the secret to winning people's love. She refused to believe that Lu Qiming wouldn't eventually fall to her skills.
After all, the word love is such a beautiful lie. No one can easily reject what it means.
Theme: Children should beware of all the ways people in this world try to explain criminal behavior as love.
