Main Characters


Shi Mo
A high school student who likes outdoor activities. He is naturally talented and a clear-minded thinker. However, he can act rashly at times.
Raised by a single father since childhood, he has trouble interacting with the opposite sex.
Because of his strong sense of justice, he has a history of clashing with bullies.
His behavior can't be explained away as self-satisfaction or a sense of morality. Perhaps this is why humans are complicated.

Ran Xiaoyu
CV: Cotton Candy
A sensitive girl who cares a lot about the people around her.
While sensitive to hostility, she chooses to appease others and is naturally disgusted by extreme behavior. Even when hurt, she'd rather escape and accept it as fate.
Due to something from her past, she is isolated from her classmates. In order not to make a scene, she escapes from the classroom and becomes a "nonexistent" person.
