* A sunny, energetic heroine with a strong sense of purpose from childhood, Shi Lang x a suppressed, sensitive hot nerd of a science-and-engineering guy, Jiang Jinghang
* Relationship-rivalry warning: the heroine has other romantic experiences early on.
A girl as lively and driven as the midsummer sun finds her life intertwined with Jiang Jinghang. Their relationship slowly unfolds over the long years of seeking and growing.
Shi Lang's childhood and adolescence taught her to grow used to farewells and adapting to change. Her life was practically a nationwide campus conquest map. Her parents' jobs kept changing, along with a little help from circumstances beyond her control (like dodging the lovesick boy from the next class who kept delivering love letters right to her doorstep), and she developed the superpower of transferring schools and becoming the talk of her new school within 48 hours! But beneath all the upheaval, one thing in her heart was perfectly clear: her mother, Shi Dai. In Shi Lang's eyes, her mother was a perfect role model: accomplished, charming, and possessed of a thunderous ability to get things done. At ten, she solemnly wrote in her diary: "I'll be just like Shi Dai, and never settle for a second choice." Her mother's strength was the brightest landmark on her personal map.
Her family had its own unique rhythm of breathing.
Most of the light and shadow of Shi Lang's youth fell across the prism of friendship. Unexpected hurts once left her at a loss, but she also knew the warmth of friends gently lifting her up and sincerely healing her wounds. Friendship was among the strongest flavors in the mixed bag of her youth.
And along the road to growing up, the lessons of love would eventually arrive without warning. For Shi Lang, it was a flutter quietly blossoming in her inexperienced heart. Her list of boyfriends is enough to make her besties scream and hold an analysis session!
Theme: A shining journey to find true love and one's true self while holding to the creed of "never settling."
