Shen Chuxu was like the sun to him. All the light in his life came from Shen Chuxu.

And from the moment Li Yang first met Shen Chuxu, he had been chasing the sunlight that belonged to him.

·

The nearly twenty-nine years of Li Yang's life had been like stagnant water, without a ripple or a spark of life.

Physical symptoms caused by his social anxiety made it impossible for him to finish high school. Since then, he had lived in a forgotten corner of the world, getting by on welfare and community assistance.

Even so, he had a secret no one knew:

He once had a "sun." Even now, he still relied on the light it gave him to illuminate a hopeless life.

·

For nearly thirty years, Shen Chuxu had been a child of fortune. He once thought that whatever problems he faced, he could turn the tide with ease. But when fate played tricks on him and his life was reduced to nothing again and again, he realized that even he could grow weary.

In the end, he gave up every chance to pull himself together and wanted only to sink into the mire.

·

That summer, just before he turned twenty-nine, Li Yang found the sun he had always looked to for light.

But clouds covered the sky, and the sun no longer shone brightly.

For the first time in his life, Li Yang found the courage to make the sun shine!

At first: a timid, socially anxious, obsessive love interest x a dejected, down-and-out pursuer

Later: a brave, straightforward love interest x a gentle, sly pursuer

Li Yang x Shen Chuxu

Reader advisory:

1. The pursuer has an ex-boyfriend, but they broke up before he reunited with the love interest, and the ex barely appears in the story.

2. The love interest may act like an obsessive stalker toward the pursuer.

3. The point of view is unclear; everything in the story serves the plot.

Theme: Never give up on chasing the light.
