Embers Looking for Light

The old city of Yongzhou is filled with countless dusty past events. Lu Yiming of Yongzhou University is an impeccable top benchmark in the entire school. He leads the way in performance, handles things appropriately, is impeccable in his conduct, and is always calm and perfect. No one knows that underneath the glamour, there is a heavy obsession that has lasted for twelve years. When he was ten years old, his brother was accidentally separated. Year after year after that, Lu Yiming used his spare time and holidays to walk alone in the deep alleys of the old city and remote ancient villages to track down clues. The yellowed missing person pages sealed in the bag are the embers in his heart that have been burning all year round. He is used to being distant, working alone, and hiding his embarrassment, and never allows himself to relax even a little bit. In the early autumn of her freshman year, she broke into his regimented and repressed world. She is gentle, transparent, observant, and has the warmth of fireworks in her eyes. Everyone else looked up to Lu Yiming's dazzling aura, but she could see through his fatigue, the depression of being alone, and the loneliness that he deliberately guarded time and time again. He deliberately kept a distance and avoided suspicion at every step, fearing that his heavy and dark past would drag down her clean and honest life. But the bondage of fate never follows one's wishes. A storm broke out during the student union's file verification. Opponents secretly found loopholes in his whereabouts and targeted him step by step. The clues to find his family were difficult to distinguish between true and false, collapsed repeatedly, and he was tortured repeatedly by old obsessions. In the dark place where no one dared to approach, only Chang Yiyi refused to retreat. She never asked for privacy or pried into secrets. She only kept quiet when he was in desperate situations and silently accompanied him when he was emotionally broken. After twelve years of walking alone, the embers finally met the stars in the world. Extremely restrained alienation and gentle and magnanimous enthusiasm blend with each other. Two people who bear the weight of their own lives heal each other, stay with each other, and find their way back and light for the rest of their lives.
