In the most wretched year of her life, Shi Yu transferred to Xing City. Her aphasia made her unable to speak, and she grew accustomed to keeping silent.
Only when she sat on the back of Yang Zhuo's mountain bike, outfitted with an extra seat, did the fierce wind blow the bangs from her eyes. Behind him, unnoticed by anyone, the anxiety and joy of a teenage girl would show, if only a little.
Cruel rumors spread through the school. The boy rode his mountain bike through a sky full of gossip to find her and ask for the truth.
Beneath the dazzling evening sky, Shi Yu resolutely pushed Yang Zhuo away, then vanished without a trace.
Everyone said she had killed herself, unable to bear the harassment.

Seven years later, a celebrated comic-book screenwriter in the industry comes to Xing City for a company outing.
As she checks in for an extended stay, Yang Zhuo holds her ID and slowly reads out the unfamiliar name: “Cheng, Huai, Ge?”
The woman whose name he has just read speaks in a soft, warm voice and smiles at him. “When I went to school in Xing City, my name was Shi Yu.”

After attending her grandmother's funeral, Cheng Huaige returns to Jing City for a meeting to negotiate film and television rights.
She stares in shock at Yang Zhuo, seated with the other company's team, asking with a blank expression whether the comic's original ending, in which the young hero and heroine end up worlds apart, can be changed.
This comic is about Yang Zhuo and her.
Theme: Personal choices matter far more than the influence of one's family of origin
