——Two teenagers, a youthful game about redemption and heartbeat
"He is the light and I am the shadow. But one day, the light said to me that the shadow is the part he wants to embrace most."
Qi Ye is the chosen one in everyone's eyes - he has excellent grades, a well-off family, and a gentle personality. He is the brightest light in the school. Shen Yu, on the other hand, is a "problem student" who has just transferred from a juvenile detention center. He is cold, withdrawn, and covered in scars, like a shadow that cannot be dispelled.
The two people, who were supposed to have nothing in common, were forced to get closer to each other's world because of an accidental rescue.
Qi Ye discovered that his melancholy indifference hid an astonishing literary talent. He would write sharp and fragmentary annotations in the blank spaces of "Selected Poems of Byron", play Chopin's nocturnes in an empty music classroom, and smoke silently against the starry sky on the rooftop late at night.
Shen Yu discovered that under Qi Ye's perfect appearance, he actually had a heart that was overwhelmed by his parents' high expectations. He would tear up the perfect test papers when no one was around, fill his drawing book with sketches of mecha warriors, and secretly envy those "unbehaved" people.
When Qi Ye saw the old self-inflicted scars on Shen Yu's wrist, and when Shen Yu saw Qi Ye breaking down and crying in the storage room, they realized - it turns out that light is tired, and shadows also long to be illuminated.
However, as the relationship between the two gradually deepens, a dark secret about the depressed family emerges: his father is not an ordinary "murderer", but a key suspect in an unsolved case. When the shadow of the past haunts Shen Yu again, and when rumors and violence on campus intensify, Qi Ye must make a choice
Should he continue to be the "perfect top student" that everyone expects, or should he stand by Shen Yu without hesitation, even if he is the enemy of the world?
"They say I'm crazy to be near a dangerous person like you."
"Then why don't you leave?"
"Because... I realized that I might be crazier than you."
"Shenyu, if the light cannot illuminate you, then I will stay in the darkness with you."
"When everyone advised me to stay away from you, I discovered that you are the only truth I want to get closer to."
Intention: Study hard and make progress every day
