About This Novel
The pioneer work of "Paradise Lost" is the purest love written by Jun Watanabe. It tells the story of a contemporary woman who is not dependent on men, has free spirit, and enjoys the beauty of love according to her own wishes. It reflects the conflict and collision between the pursuit of personal happiness and traditional moral ethics in modern life. It brings readers another thought about love and explores whether marriage is the final destination of love. Shuko Katagiri is a beautiful and capable urban white-collar worker, but she has always maintained a "lover" relationship with Tono, a married middle-aged man with a successful career. Independent, intelligent and considerate, Toono became more and more fascinated by Shuzi who loved him so purely, and finally decided to abandon his family and marry Shuzi. However, Xiuzi proposed breaking up at this time...

After watching Duras's Lover, The Body of a Prostitute, the writer's soul was sublimated in the soul! I curiously looked at Watanabe's lover. They were very different, but I still felt that women like Shuko should be rare~ If a woman like this didn't need to rely on another man for anything, the ending process might be happy, but the ending would be very hard, because men still like to be relied on, even if it's your tears~ Shuko is too perfect and too incomplete and should live in an idealistic utopia~
If you are willing, I will love you forever; If you don't want to, I will miss you forever.
I don't understand how she managed to not be attached to a man either materially or mentally. Maybe the woman the author portrayed is an ideal type.
Shuzi has been deceiving himself, subconsciously knowing that his relationship with Tono is immoral! She is selfish, she just wants to enjoy love and does not need daily necessities! She is all about self-emotional satisfaction!
A woman who is strong and independent, knows exactly what she wants, pleases herself, and does not live for others, this is a beautiful and happy woman! Marriage is really like a tomb. Once you get in and get along every day and night, all the unbearable and wretched things will be exposed in front of each other. Even if two people once loved each other, they will be like passers-by who will be worn away by the daily necessities of daily life! This is life! I also have Xiuzi's thoughts... Enjoy happiness with your lover, even if it's secretive, slandered by morality, and not burdened by life!
Or maybe this is the perfect lover in the eyes of men. She doesn't compete with the wife, doesn't make it difficult for men, and can always be comforted and considerate. This is the perfect lover in the author's imagination, but this is just an imagination.
Xiuzi likes the object of love to be looked up to, pure and almost perfect. She only likes the most glorious side of Yuan Ye and cannot accept the selfish side of Yuan Ye. At the same time, she likes to be free and independent and will not abandon herself for love.
Toono failed to truly understand Shuzi, so the two broke up. Shuzi loves purely, but Tono cannot understand her view of love.
Falling in love and getting married are really two different things.
Self-reliance, family harmony, peace in the world
People who have entered the besieged city have seen this and have a deep understanding of it. Being too affectionate will hurt yourself, and being carefree and frivolous will hurt others! Use seven portions of your love for your lover and keep three portions for yourself. That's it! The writing is really good, and the plainness makes it more sincere.
