"Every time I lost my footing and fell, you caught me, held me close, and brought me back to this world."
At the start of the new semester, the student council is recruiting in full swing.
The line in front of the table stretches on like a dragon, moving painfully slowly. When asked why they've signed up, nine out of ten students say they're here for Xu Linyao.
He's tall and handsome, with an alluring mole at the corner of his eye and dimples when he smiles.
He's an excellent student, his name always at the top of the rankings and a regular feature on the school's honor roll.
True to his name, he's a dazzling prodigy. Countless girls like him, and everyone wonders what kind of person he might like.
It was nearly the end of the day when Zhu Shiyue finally arrived, taking her time.
The sky was overcast, and the drizzle showed no sign of stopping. Xu Linyao twirled his pen, asking that question for what felt like the hundredth time.
"Why do you want to join the student council?"
A cool, clear voice rang in his ears, like a raindrop falling into his heart.
"You don't have to run laps for student council."
His hand stilled. Xu Linyao looked up and met a pair of eyes that were cold yet impossibly beautiful.

Zhu Shiyue once thought life was an endless night.
Until the year she turned seventeen, when a ray of light pierced her heart.
In countless moments when she wanted to give up, Xu Linyao held her and repeated over and over in her ear:
"Stay alive. For me, stay alive."
