When God Says Let There Be Light

In a twist of fate, a simple glance at a popular CP turned the life of a certain person upside down. Overnight, he was transmigrated back in time, becoming the male protagonist, Nie Qingzhou, of the very same CP ship that his cousin was obsessed with. Imagine the shock of this office worker, known for his gentle demeanor and refined nature, when he suddenly found himself trapped in the body of a troublesome sixteen-year-old boy. It was a truly mind-boggling transformation! As “Nie Qingzhou” observed the other half of the equation, the female lead in the CP—Xia Yi, a gifted musician still navigating the halls of high school, her talents yet to be recognized—a wave of contemplation washed over him. So does this mean that the CP my cousin obsesses over is, in fact, my own destined romantic pairing? Deep in Xia Yi’s memories lies a vivid scene from a summer evening in high school. When the sun was setting, casting a warm glow, a young boy on a bicycle appeared at the end of the road. With his school uniform billowing in the wind, he seemed to dance amidst the golden-red hues of twilight. A gust of wind swept up a flier with the message, “When God says ‘Let There Be Light,’” twirling and ascending towards the sky. In that moment, Nie Qingzhou cried out her name, his heart propelling him towards her as if he were a divine oracle delivering a message. Countless times before, and countless times in the future, driven by an irresistible force he would always be running towards her like this. Our male lead is a well-rounded individual, accomplished in all aspects and an exceptional student. Meanwhile, the female lead is a quiet person who exudes beauty, grace, and an unyielding spirit.
