Gu Sheng was the neighborhood's toughest kid. By the age of fifteen, she'd earned her second-degree black belt, and she'd always hated seeing the weak bullied.
During her school years, she helped plenty of people, including classmates who were bullied and left-behind youths who were ostracized. Zhou Jingxuan was one of them.
In his darkest years, Zhou Jingxuan had no father to care for him and no mother to love him. He was a hardheaded boy everyone picked on, but who refused to bow his head. Gu Sheng appeared like a ray of light, illuminating his bleak, miserable life.
