A story about "becoming yourself first, then choosing whom to love."
Shen Nian is the perfect girl in everyone’s eyes: good grades, obedient, and never a source of worry. But she has spent her life being what others expect, never stopping to ask what she truly wants. Lu Xingye is the problem child in everyone’s eyes: cold, antisocial, and self-destructive. But he has hidden away his softest side, waiting for someone willing to seek it out.
They meet during their final year of high school. It isn’t that one saves the other. Rather, two wounded people see in each other another way to live.
This book isn’t about "whether they’ll end up together," but about "how they become people worthy of love."
