About This Novel
"I write every work as a posthumous work." Mishima Yukio's final posthumous work, Mishima's "dynastic love novel," was praised by Kawabata as "the sublimation of the author's brilliant talent." It is a love tragedy in the palace that is as fleeting as the snow in spring. It is a poignant love story between aristocratic young people during the Taisho period. Men and women who love each other are not recognized by society, and eventually part ways. This book describes the intricate love entanglement between Kiyoaki and Satoko during the Taisho period of Japan. Kiyoaki and Satoko, who were born into noble families, have been childhood sweethearts and have loved each other since childhood. However, Kiyoaki's admiration for Satoko was pregnant with an uneasy feeling. Satoko failed to grasp his feelings and had to accept the emperor's order and became engaged to Prince Harunori. At this time, Kiyoaki realized the unforgettable love for Satoko deep in his heart, and kept in touch with Satoko through his friend Honda, and courted Satoko. Satoko had a relationship with Kiyoaki in confusion. After Satoko became pregnant, her parents knew the truth and felt that the disaster was coming. So Satoko could only go to another place to have a secret abortion under the pressure of her family. After the abortion, Satoko saw through the mortal world and became a nun privately. Qingxian went to the temple in the snow to see Satoko, but Satoko declined, and passed away in depression at the age of twenty.
