This series is a collection of heartwarming stories created by manga artist Nantian Xiao. Each book contains multiple short manga stories, adapted from the popular Weibo series of the same name.

Those awkward, shy, confused, anxious, lonely, humble, and frustrating moments of reality…
And those brave, passionate, sincere, decisive, bright, and innocent fairy-tale-like moments…
Though seemingly contradictory, they actually complement each other. Each story takes place in the real world, yet all yearn for a carefree existence like that of a fairy tale. May we all achieve our dreams, freedom, dignity, and love.

Life isn’t just about sweet dreams; it’s full of mixed emotions. Everyone wants to experience flavors they’ve never tried before. Does your dream also contain a heart longing for freedom?
