007 | born and raised in a tiny town away from the city with a single mother, sicheng spent most of his childhood learning about flowers and working with his mother side-by-side in her flower shop. he and his mother had a falling out when they discussed about his future; seeing that sicheng wanted to be a sci-fi novelist and planned to move to the city for college. although, it isn't the college of his dreams, he still wanted out from the suffocating and goal-draining town. when he was super close to leaving his former life behind, his mother fell ill and, feeling remorse about what he was about to do, swore to take care of her until she felt better. that time never came and she died immediately after. saddened but driven to keep his mother's name remembered, fixed up the flower shop and threw away his dreams as a novelist and moving to the city. he continued to learn about botany and now herbalism with a local priest. until, said priest, gave him his two cents about his dreams and whether giving it up for a life was selfless or selfish of him.
