Seventeen-year-old Huo Qinghe lost his father overnight.
Huo Qing and his father died in the line of duty. He followed the preferential care arrangement and transferred to school to join his grandfather, whom he had not known for many years. His grandfather, who was in the city government, strongly opposed his daughter's marriage to his policeman son-in-law who had nothing. A car accident took away his daughter. The long-lasting guilt spanned the two generations. In such a big city, Huo Qinghe could not find a place that he could truly call home.
On the first day when he transferred to a key class in a strange high school, he witnessed a conflict and faced the first inexplicable elbow in his new school life. Someone publicly taunted Rakshasa about his past, and kept sarcastic about his father and mother who were in prison. This completely touched the boy's bottom line. The two scuffled on the spot, accidentally injuring Huo Qinghe who was passing by. The son of a policeman had a sense of order engraved in his bones. Huo Qinghe couldn't help but be prejudiced at first, and subconsciously paid attention to this young man who was swayed by rumors.
They stand at both ends of the worldly scale.
One carries the legacy of a hero and endures the kind looks of others; the other is immersed in rumors and humiliation and is carefully pushed away by his biological mother, guarding an empty house alone.
Everyone can only see the labels that float on the surface, and only each other can see the unspeakable brokenness and loneliness hidden under the other's skin.
Prejudices slowly melted away, giving birth to mutual sympathy.
But there is an undercurrent in the peaceful high school life. Rakshasa's father, who has been released from prison, is about to return, and all the misfortunes in the past are coming back.
When the whole world once again defined Shen Jin by the guilt of his parents, Huo Qinghe finally understood:
Justice is never a stereotyped label, and no one needs to atone for the sins of the previous generation.
Two teenagers trapped in a blind corner of fate will eventually extradite each other and get out of the long night.
