The Moon Is My Sun

Lin Ye suffers from solar urticaria - the sun is not warm to her, but a prick. She works the night shift in a 24-hour bookstore, sleeping day and night, completely separated from normal people's lives. Until early in the morning, a man wearing a hat walked into the bookstore. His name is Cheng Zhou. The disease he suffers from is even rarer - xeroderma pigmentosum, a genetic defect in the DNA repair mechanism, and the risk of skin cancer is 10,000 times higher than that of ordinary people. He comes every night, sits in the same corner, reads the same book, and leaves before dawn. Two people who cannot see the light get closer and closer in a bookstore late at night. They share the same vocabulary - "needle" to describe sunshine, and "continue to observe" instead of "it will get better." In the dark, they exchanged medical histories, childhoods, fears, and things they would never say to anyone else. But every review by Cheng Zhou was a countdown. When cracks begin to appear in his body, Lin Ye must answer a question: Should he retreat into his own darkness, or risk everything to become a person's light?
