In her senior year of college, while applying for a recommendation to graduate school, Cheng Qianyu was caught up in a scandal alleging that she was being kept by a man. Negative rumors about her spread all over campus. Amid the online abuse, Cheng Qianyu not only lost her chance to attend Huaqing University through the recommendation program, but also developed severe depression. Then, just when everything seemed to be going wrong, she placed all her hopes in that man, only for him to leave her world without a word.
Later, she remained trapped in the midsummer of her eighteenth year, living in the shadows and wrestling with pain day after day.
The girl who should have been blooming brilliantly in the sunlight instead hunched in the dark, eking out a wretched existence like a sewer rat. All she had done was fall in love and give in to temptation once. What had she done wrong?
To the very end, Cheng Qianyu never bowed her head or admitted fault. She stubbornly weathered every storm on her own, growing from an awkward girl into a mature woman. Looking back, she finally realized that she had loved him for so long. He simply did not love her.
Later...
If love could be measured, how could she ever make amends for all she had lost, for all those years that had slipped away?
