When a bullied schoolgirl's nemesis turns up dead, she and a shady new friend come under suspicion in this Chinese drama based on Yuexi Jiu's novel.
Heavily bullied seventeen-year-old Nian (Dongyu Zhou) is studying for the notoriously tough university entrance exams when she meets Bei (Jackson Yee), a tough street kid. The unlikely couple gradually fall in love, but everything turns upside down when they are dragged into the murder case of Nian's classmate — as the prime suspects.
