Lin Jinyue used to be lively and cheerful, but something that happened when she was young gradually taught her to hide her true self. She became the obedient, sensible top student her parents wanted. She kept up that act for eight years. Even her childhood best friend couldn’t tell whether her personality was innate or had been shaped by something that happened to her.
It wasn’t until she started playing Honor of Kings that she dared to sneak away from her parents’ watchful eyes and briefly drop the act in the game.
Shang Xinze, a cool and distant boy she met through the game, kept encouraging her throughout the stifling days of high school, giving her warmth and helping her find the courage to break free of her parents’ control and be herself again.
To her, he was like a shining star, offering hope and light to guide her forward through the darkness. So when she later tried to hold on to that star and make him hers alone, she discovered that... the stars didn’t shine just for her.
