A Castle in the Air

Blurb

Li Ming thinks she'll never fall in love with anyone in her life, because she's incomplete, with a heart missing so much.

Then she meets Sui Ran, and ruins her life.

Their first encounter is far from pleasant: while out walking with Li Ming, Sui Ran is mistaken for one of her pursuers and stabbed by someone trying to kill Li Ming.

When Li Ming meets Sui Ran again, Sui Ran is in an even worse state than the first time.

Sui Ran is a good actress. With the right guidance, she'll surely shine one day. Li Ming only wants to polish a rough gem, but her repeated acts of kindness in Sui Ran's darkest moments end up winning Sui Ran's heart completely.

Unfortunately, Li Ming only invited her to act in a film. As for all that tenderness, it was simply a matter of good manners.

Sui Ran knows she's fallen in love with Li Ming, but she's insecure. Li Ming is just too wonderful, and someone as wretched and dirty as her has no right to pursue her. At the same time, Li Ming feels so far away, so elusive, as if she'll disappear at any moment.

There is a conspicuous scar on Li Ming's side. Every time Sui Ran sees it, she can't help thinking of Li Ming and wondering if she's doing all right.

Li Ming has a dream: she wants to build a house made of glass. She'll sleep on the glass balcony, close her eyes, and everything will cease to exist.

Her hollow soul and lonely heart will both disappear into the transparency. But Sui Ran will curl up in a corner of the glass, clinging to her desperately and begging her not to disappear.
