Eighteen-year-old Jiang Wan is stunningly beautiful. Even at a girls' school full of beauties, she stands out above them all.
Nineteen-year-old Chen Jin is withdrawn and gloomy. His parents despise him, and his brothers resent him. He lives alone within the cold confines of his own world.
Jiang Wan is as radiant as the morning sun, cherished by her parents, and like a little moon in the distant sky: beautiful to behold, yet impossible to reach.
Chen Jin has endured a hellish past. When he was young, human traffickers kidnapped him and locked him in an iron cage. He swallowed shards of glass and fought with vicious dogs over food. Those deep, shadowed eyes have long since seen the face of hell on earth.
She is the person he claims to hate most. When his brothers go after her because of it, no one knows that, through countless nights, a certain boy has endured the sting in his fingers as he carefully weaves a bracelet, all just to win a smile from her.
Chen Jin's voice is hoarse, almost swallowed by the silence. "Would you... come with me?"
"Yes!" The girl's answer comes without a moment's hesitation, like moonlight piercing the stillness of the night.
Her clear voice rings out, and at the same time she reaches for his hand without hesitation, clasping it firmly. His hand bears the marks of a life in the mortal world, but her grip is resolute and warm.
It is an invitation from the light, and a promise to descend into the abyss. She has chosen to stumble her way to him, and she has chosen the fierce, burning unknown that awaits.
