Before My Withering

Sinopsis

This story explores the relationship between two individuals: a gentle yet strong character, often described as a "black belly gong," and a sensitive, sickly character who struggles with an inferiority complex, referred to as a "shou." The narrative delves into their dynamic, particularly focusing on themes of worth and affection, as one character grapples with the idea of being an "old plaything" while the other asserts that their feelings transcend mere liking, reaching the level of love.
