A girl with OCD vs. a boy with narcolepsy
(The blurb may change, but the characters won't.)
#
Chi Mian has very high standards for herself. She wants to do everything to perfection, working around the clock, 24 hours a day, and unable to stop until everything is perfect.
She thinks sleep is a waste of time, a waste of life.
Jiang Yuan is a genius at the piano and a genius at studying, too. Unfortunately, he has narcolepsy, and all kinds of mishaps often befall him halfway through a task.
His life is always left unfinished, so he can only compromise, go easy on himself, and take everything in stride.
The two become desk mates.
Chi Mian is driven crazy by Jiang Yuan on a daily basis, and her OCD is tested again and again.
She can't understand it. Ever since she was little, she's been taught that anything less than perfect is worthless. She won't let herself be worthless.
But Jiang Yuan tells her, "You're already amazing. You do things better than I do."
There are things Jiang Yuan really wants to do well, but even putting on a complete performance is beyond him.
Chi Mian's perfectionism dazzles him. She shines like a sunflower, bright enough to make people want to follow her.
But because of his narcolepsy, every step forward sends him three steps back.
Eventually, Chi Mian stops and waits for him.
