The protagonist Lin Xueru in "Kiss And Cry: My Girlfriend Has a Problem with Her Mind" is the kind of girl who brightens a room the moment she walks in—outgoing, buoyant, funny. She never shies away from making connections with others, nor does she try to dominate their pace; instead, she reaches people in a way that seems effortless and harmless yet is quietly resilient. She’s the sort of person it’s hard to refuse, because she approaches “getting close to others” with such naturalness, lightness, and conviction.

What happens when a girl like her barges into the world of a perceptive, emotionally fragile classmate who is mentally atypical and prone to suffering from her own insight? What brilliant friction will spark from that collision? That’s what I want to explore in this story.
