About This Novel

On the day Jiang Lai returned to China, it rained for the first time since autumn in Beijing. She is Jiang Bainian's only daughter, the most dazzling star among Beijing's top socialites - a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, a master's degree from Columbia University, and the youngest Chinese analyst in midtown Manhattan. Everyone thought that she would naturally take over the family capital, marry a well-matched child of a well-matched family, and overlook the lights of the entire city from the floor-to-ceiling windows of Guomao. Until one night at the Workers' Stadium, she met Lin Xizhou. He is 1.93 Meters tall, a taciturn flower shop owner, and has an indelible tattoo of a sword and a flower on his left hand. He lives in an old industrial park outside the Fifth Ring Road, surrounded by flowers and plants every day, like a tamed beast, hiding all its sharpness in the soil and fragrance. But there are no secrets in Beijing. Lin Xizhou's father is Lin Hezhang, a legend who has been included in many case files but has never been convicted. Lin Xizhou, his youngest son, is the one "most like him" among all his sons. When Jiang Bainian dug up the dusty file, when the shadows of the two families reunited under the glass curtain wall of the CBD, and when a past that had been buried for ten years began to pour out - Jiang Lai realized that what she thought she was playing was a love game, but in fact she was dismantling a mine that could explode at any time. Smoke and clouds rose in the capital, and no one could escape unscathed. This is a story about swords and flowers, crime and punishment, escape and fate.
