> Resumos de Dazzling
Qing Ye's life was turned upside down when her father was taken away by the authorities for investigation. With his assets suddenly frozen, her plans to study abroad—following her late mother's final wishes—were put on hold as her visa could no longer be processed. To keep her safe from relentless creditors, her father's secretary, Sun Hai, made the decision to send her away from Beijing to stay with her aunt, Li Lanfang.
Qing Ye dreaded going to the remote coastal town of Zhazhating, but with no other relatives in the capital, she had no choice. As Sun Hai's car neared Zhazhating, the GPS lost its signal, forcing them to pull over. Through the window, Qing Ye witnessed what looked like a violent gang assault: a white-haired youth and his friends chased down and pinned another boy to the ground.
In reality, the youth was Xing Wu, a local high schooler who was retrieving a stolen phone on behalf of his teacher, Mr. Zhu. Unaware of this, Qing Ye immediately pegged Xing Wu and his colorful-haired friends as mindless street thugs. Needing directions to Xuan Island, Sun Hai rolled down his window and asked the boys for help. When they provided the route, Sun Hai generously handed each of them a one-hundred-yuan tip.
While Xing Wu demanded his friends return the money, the boys eagerly kept it, marveling at the wealthy city folks. Noting the Beijing license plate, Xing Wu's friends wondered if this was the rich cousin he was supposed to pick up. Shortly after, Xing Wu returned the phone to Mr. Zhu, who used the opportunity to urge him to return to school.
For the past two years, Xing Wu had put his education on hold to work at a repair shop to ease his mother's financial burdens. Mr. Zhu reminded him of his past achievements in aerospace modeling and paper airplane contests, but Xing Wu quietly dismissed the advice, redirecting the conversation to Mr. Zhu's own marital issues before walking away. At the local mahjong club, Li Lanfang was wearing elaborate makeup in anticipation of her niece's arrival.
Her friends gossiped about the wealthy Beijing relative who was supposedly bringing fifty thousand yuan, which would help Li Lanfang clear her mounting debts. Bragging about her late sister's successful family, Li Lanfang even promised to gift them apartments once her brother-in-law turned Zhazhating into a resort. Her fantasies were briefly interrupted by a call from a persistent creditor, whom she pacified by promising a wire transfer the moment her "money tree" arrived.
When word reached Li Lanfang that the car had arrived, she immediately instructed her neighbors to set off firecrackers to welcome Qing Ye. The neighborhood gathered for the loud, smoky reception, leaving Qing Ye utterly overwhelmed. Meeting her aunt, who wore suffocating perfume, and her silent, hostile cousin Xing Wu, Qing Ye felt an immediate wave of dread.
After Sun Hai said his goodbyes and promised to clear her father's name, Qing Ye reluctantly stepped into her aunt's shop, Xuan Island. Once inside, Qing Ye presented a "Temporary Residency Service Contract" and handed over thirty thousand yuan, keeping the remaining twenty thousand as a guarantee. Eager for the cash, Li Lanfang signed the document without reading it.
Li Lanfang then suggested Qing Ye take Xing Wu’s room—which doubled as his repair shop—separated only by a thin curtain, or her own incredibly cluttered room. Before Qing Ye could make a choice, Li Lanfang scurried back to her mahjong game. Before leaving, Li Lanfang pulled Xing Wu aside, pleading with him to be kind to Qing Ye and explaining that her late sister had once been very generous to her.
Left alone with Qing Ye, Xing Wu coldly informed her that she would have to use a communal public bathroom outside, and warned her not to disturb his resting grandmother. Overwhelmed by her new surroundings, Qing Ye fell asleep and dreamed of her late mother, who comforted her and promised that she would get through this difficult time.
She awoke with tears streaming down her face, only to find Xing Wu standing over her bed to announce that dinner was ready. Dinner proved to be another disaster. Qing Ye refused to touch the food, explaining that she did not eat meat at night or dishes fried in lard. She went back upstairs, leaving Xing Wu to argue with his mother about their desperate lifestyle, her gambling habits, and his father's gambling debts.
Li Lanfang defended herself, explaining that the thirty thousand yuan was their only shield against the thugs at their door, and that she needed to cover his grandmother's medical bills for her bad legs and epilepsy. She expressed her hope that Xing Wu would one day return to school, but Xing Wu stubbornly insisted he could support the family on his own.
Upstairs, Qing Ye got on a video call with her friends, Le Ling and another classmate, complaining about the bizarre town, the power outage, and her thug-like cousin. Suddenly, Xing Wu appeared behind her in the dark, causing her to quickly hang up. He lit a pungent mosquito coil, warning her that the local sea mosquitoes could bite a pig to death.
When she complained about the dim room, he climbed up to replace the light bulb, asking her to hold the new one. They agreed to simply tolerate each other as "Party A and Party B" for the next month until she could leave. Xing Wu then escorted her to the public shower. Qing Ye was horrified by the filthy, rusty facility, the broken door with a gaping hole, and the bucket of cheap shampoo.
Realizing she had no other choice, she reluctantly agreed to endure the conditions. Later, her fragile composure shattered completely when she spotted what she believed to be a massive bug in the bathroom. Screaming in terror, she called for Xing Wu, who only mocked her fear by showing her how tiny the insect actually was, while she frantically warned him to stay away.
