Go Against the Grain

No bloodthirsty monsters, no life-or-death racing. The most dangerous judgment is hidden in gentle words. Shen Ting wakes up again and again in the illusion of reincarnation. In the name of love, relatives ask him to choose a safe life; passers-by define decency and ask him to restrain all his sharp edges; evaluators hold a value ruler and declare all unprofitable love to be a waste; the collective embraces the voices of the masses and treats unique feelings as noise that disturbs the peace. If you obey, you will be able to blend into the stable sea of ​​people, and you will no longer have to endure criticism and loneliness. To resist, you have to stand alone on the opposite side of everyone and endure endless pull. Only the old silver ring of unknown origin on his fingertip was his only anchor. If you keep your true heart, the silver ring will be revived; if you refuse to assimilate, an indelible crack will be left in the illusion. Floating, trembling, warming, enlightening... When cracks spread across the illusion, Shen Ting finally saw the truth: The secular answer is never the only one. Even though thousands of people are following the same trend, I go against the grain.
