He Yucheng once hoped to enter seminary, but the setbacks of reality and his faith constituted a conflict between him and his new life.
School and family

The novel, radio drama, and the first episode of the game are different carriers.
Teacher Miao's request and the father-daughter dispute
He Yucheng originally had no intention of interfering in Yuqing's affairs, but only approached her at Miao Pinhong's request. When Wan Zijin denounced Teacher Miao, He Yucheng argued with his friend. After her father hit her, Yuqing questioned him: Can material support replace true love; He Yucheng's arrival also made her even more worried about losing her father's limited companionship.
Melati's hair accessory
Yuqing fears being rejected if she gets close to others, but Melati is her friend with whom she can communicate on equal footing. The escape during the anti-Chinese riots separated the two; After witnessing Melati's murder, Yuqing took off her friend's hair accessory, hoping to continue her dream.
Survival from two perspectives
He Yucheng prayed repeatedly while being chased and fleeing, but could not escape danger and ultimately chose to save himself. Yuqing also reconsiders the justice she believes in during her escape. The game first unfolds from He Yucheng's perspective, then unlocks Yuqing's perspective. Only after clearing both routes can you freely choose to replay.
The early conclusion of the return to Taiwan for a hospital visit
If He Yucheng answered his mother's call, he would return to Taiwan to visit his sick mother, avoiding the subsequent anti-Chinese riots, ending the story early. If they choose not to answer the phone, they will continue to stay in Indonesia to face subsequent events.
