Ji Shu has been following her grandparents since she can remember. Her parents went out to work and they met only a handful of times. When she was six years old, she heard from her grandma that her parents had given her a younger brother. He was two years old. She was young at that time and only looked forward to meeting them soon. Who would have thought that their arrival would deprive her of her only warmth.
Her grandmother's departure, her grandfather's ruthlessness, her mother's irresponsibility, her father's patriarchal preference, and her younger brother's pampering and arrogance became nightmares that lingered around her. Each one of them made her breathless. She was imprisoned in this strange and suffocating family, and she forgot who she was.
Fortunately, she met a good friend who cared deeply for her, allowing her to feel the long-lost warmth in this cold world.

Qi Baiyan first met Ji Shu when she was nine years old. The lively and noisy little girl always had a heartless smile on her face. She played with the puppy under the camphor tree in front of the old house. From time to time, her laughter sounded like silver bells. When she saw him, she called him "brother" affectionately.
The second time I saw her was at her grandmother's funeral. The girl was kneeling in front of the funeral in mourning, her eyes were empty, tears rolled down her cheeks and fell on her knees. Her thin and frail figure trembled slightly, and that innocent girl no longer existed.
Later, she transferred to his school, became taciturn, and got along well with everyone, but no one was in her heart. Her urgent pursuit would only push her further and further away, so he also hid his inner throbbing and gave each other time.
