Go Against the Light

Come to Yuewen's website to read more of my works! If you walk against the light, will your shadow lead the way? " Yu Xiaoxuan's life is a schedule accurate to the minute. Her father's expectations, her mother's silence, her report card in the top three grades - she was like a goldfish living in a glass fish tank, even her shadow was carefully planned. Until that afternoon, she picked up a black notebook filled with rebellious lyrics on the school rooftop. Cheng Ye, a well-known "problem student" in the school, is also the lead singer of the underground band "Backlight". Hidden beneath his cynical appearance is a paranoia about music, as well as a past that he doesn't want to mention. When he found Yu Xiaoxuan secretly playing the song he wrote, he reached out to her: Come be our keyboard player, your piano sound has the light I want. From then on, Yu Xiaoxuan started a double life. She was a well-behaved top student during the day and a keyboard player in the underground rehearsal room at night. When her father tore up her sheet music, when all the teachers and students in the school witnessed her being dragged off the stage in public, when the musical note tattoo on Cheng Ye's wrist bore her scars—— She must make a choice: continue to live in the light planned by others, or go against the light and let the shadow be her guide?
