Youth is innocence. Youth is shyness.
A tender, unspoken crush fills Shen Ju's entire youth.
Wrapped in misfortune, she longs for love and salvation more than anything. So at eighteen, Shen Ju decides to seek out the light that belongs only to her.

Childhood friends!
Inseparable since they were little!
That's right, Shen Ju and Jiang Wang have known each other since before they were born.
They're neighbors, and they grow up together through bright spring days. Tears and laughter fill their childhood memories.
They're the very best of friends.
They promised to grow up together!
She sighs. Things don't go as planned. After parting on bad terms, they go their separate ways.
A heavy rain severs their connection.
He smiles. Fate can be cruel.
In the six years apart, they've both been through so much, burying too many secrets in their hearts to speak of.
Or perhaps Shen Ju hasn't arrived too late after all.
Jiang Wang's thoughtful care makes Shen Ju even more reluctant to let go. She's sure he treats her differently, sure they feel the same way about each other.
She knows Jiang Wang is the light meant just for her.
But after chasing the light for so, so long, she forgets that light was never something she could hold on to!
