Xia Yi came across a man by the roadside who was so hungry he could barely stay conscious. He clung to her and muttered things she couldn't understand, looking utterly pitiful.
Unable to leave him there, Xia Yi took him home.
Later, she discovered he was actually her high school classmate.
Back in high school, he had been ostracized for being too withdrawn, and she had once saved his life.
And this classmate looked as if he'd been made to match her exact taste.
Overcome by her own lustful thoughts, Xia Yi hinted, "Gu Shiqiu, I've saved you twice now. How about you..."
Gu Shiqiu lifted his eyes. With an almost ravenous gaze, he studied the girl's face, then spoke the first complete sentence he'd said since Xia Yi found him:
"Can I repay you by giving myself to you?"

[Heguang] is the fervent faith of countless music fans, a legendary myth in the music world.
Every song he has created is a classic, yet he has never held a concert or taken part in public events. No one knows what he really looks like.
Rumor has it that the idol has a white moonlight, someone he loves but can never have.
Heguang fans: Who is this woman who doesn't know her place!? Let me at her!!!
As a longtime fan of Heguang, Xia Yi detested that woman just as much. She wished she could grab her idol's white moonlight by the shoulders and list a hundred of his good qualities.
Later
Xia Yi had a fight with her boyfriend.
Xia Yi: "Even if I jump off right here, I will never come back to you again!"
Furious, she blurted out whatever came to mind. The man's eyes instantly reddened, and his voice turned hoarse:
"Don't say you'll jump. I'm scared."
Xia Yi rolled her eyes and thought, If I ever go back to him, I'll be a dog!
Three days later, Heguang's company posted his first official portrait on Weibo and announced that he would soon hold his first solo concert. It sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, and the ranks of his girlfriend fans swelled overnight.
Looking at her idol's face, which perfectly matched her tastes, Xia Yi knocked on the door opposite her home.
The door opened
Xia Yi: "Woof."
Worth it.

Gu Shiqiu had a secret
He was reborn.
In his previous life, the girl he had a crush on was caught up in a plagiarism scandal and subjected to cyberbullying. Her depression flared up, and in the end she fell into the sea by accident, ending her life.
The girl once said: People trapped in darkness are like creatures at the bottom of the sea yearning for light. If she ever died, the bottom of the sea would be her final resting place.

Long, long afterward,
Xia Yi asked Shiqiu, "Why did you choose the name Heguang? It sounds so... bare."
Shiqiu replied, "The character for autumn can be split into 'grain' and 'fire.'"
Xia Yi said, "He sounds like 'grain,' but what about 'light'?"
The tips of Shiqiu's ears turned red. He took her hand and wrote 'fire' in her palm, then added a stroke for 'one.'
Because of you, I want to become your light and awaken you at the bottom of the sea.
