In this novel series originally released in Chinese—and which inspired a number of multimedia
adaptations—two disaffected young men stuck in a run-down city discover that everything changes
once they find each other. Unwanted by his adoptive parents Jiang Cheng leaves home to live
in a cold gray city with his deadbeat dad whose only talent is feeding a gambling addiction.
Alone save for his suitcase the rebellious teenage boy arrives at the train station ready to
face his miserable new life. But the moment he steps off the platform Jiang Cheng meets the
peculiar young girl Gu Miao along with her big brother Gu Fei—a boy his age with a musical
staff shaved into his hair. Rumor has it that Gu Fei is bad news with dark secrets of his own
but Jiang Cheng still finds himself pulled toward the withdrawn delinquent thanks to Gu Miao
and perhaps fate. The unlikely friendship that blossoms between them shows Jiang Cheng the
hidden depths of Gu Fei…and the hidden depths of his own feelings. Features exclusive new art!
