When Guan Chuyue was ten, her family was struck by disaster. She drifted through life amid one move after another, her soul gradually twisting and splitting apart among endless hallucinations and pessimistic fantasies. Then, at seventeen, she met a boy as warm as the sun. He reached out to her, trying to pull her from the abyss...
Fate is like a rabbit trapped in a cage: destined to tremble, with no way to escape.
Rong Kongyang tried to lead her out of her prison, but she found that discovering true freedom was harder than dying.
They ran wildly through the streets, racing through the winter. They were silhouettes in the dim night, kites suspended in midair, dragonflies resting carelessly on the tips of leaves, nightingales hidden among the forest trees amid a world of bustling splendor. When these joys faded as easily as wisps of smoke, Guan Chuyue thought, "Nothing in this world lasts forever."
The pessimism she was born with followed her like a shadow, layer upon layer, impossible to escape.
She hoped the road she walked with Rong Kongyang would have no end, but she also understood that the road taken by the sun and a madman could not last.
When Rong Kongyang decided to carry Guan Chuyue through the storm up two thousand steps on Qian Mountain, and begged her to live, he truly understood his feelings. He immediately decided their future for them, unaware that he still didn't know all of her, that he lacked the resolve and courage, and that he didn't understand the roots of her pain or the confusion of her life...
As he watched her struggle day after day, would he choose hypocrisy, pretending not to know and running away, or face his own cowardice and truly take her hand?
To become someone's salvation, you must also bear their pain. How can anyone measure the weight of that burden?
