"School + City | Second Chance Romance | Childhood Friends"
As a teenager, Lin Jianyao was the best student at Tanghua No. 1 High School. Cool and beautiful, she was the unattainable dream of countless boys.
She always ranked first in her grade, came from a wealthy family, and was doted on by her parents.
Her classmate Lu Nanting, on the other hand, was every teacher at Tanghua's worst nightmare. He was guilty of every offense, from being late and skipping class to getting into fights.
But he had a face to match: phoenix eyes, sharp brows, and a slight curve to his lips. Beneath the summer trees, he became the stuff of teenage daydreams.
Yet he kept burying himself in the darkness of despair, refusing to save himself, letting every voice fade away.
Until that winter night.
The girl came to him with a light in her eyes and held out her hand, pulling him out of the abyss.
She said, "Look, the stars shine beneath your feet, and a bright future lies ahead."
"So, Lu Nanting, you will always have light."
