Synopsis

[No CP, no System, beautiful, strong, and tragic; a lighthearted comedy.]

In the world of cards, hearts represent summer: passionate and radiant, bright and full of limitless promise. It said, “A card cannot see its own suit. Make a wish for one season, hope for the endless, love for the absent: this is the Seven of Hearts.”

Nothing needs a Seven of Hearts, and yet the world is missing one, to satisfy its selfish desires.

The Seven of Hearts was sent down to the world. Its holder would have summer.

Some wanted immortality, some wanted money, some wanted power. The world wanted all those elusive things. They were greedy, they yearned, they wanted a Seven of Hearts.

Somewhere, a torn declaration of war was carried far away by the wind, so far that I felt shrouded in thick fog, unable to see the gamble after gamble unfolding before me.

“Summer has come around once again, but I no longer have a summer.”

The wind passed through the treetops, the years slipped by in a blur. One move after another, I took them all, and was utterly routed.

Over the long years of struggle, he had unknowingly lost so much. He had no more chips to wager against the passage of time. Sometimes, as he watched the clouds drift across the horizon, he would suddenly realize that all he had left to squander was a long life that would not fade away, no matter how swiftly time flew.

He could no longer afford to lose anything, and yet it seemed there was nothing he could not lose.

“Seven of Hearts, you have watched the human world go by again and again, yet even the sunlight from the sun hanging high in the sky vanishes from your palm in an instant. Are you content with that?

“He is no puppet. He is the strings... Have you forgotten? He will sway the ending. One careless step, and he will fall into an abyss.”

If you don't quite understand them, you can take a look at chapters 19, 42, 58, 1111, 74, 93, 97, 116, 120, 121, and 000. Feel free to add your own answers.

It's really good! The personality is just my type! Although I don't like him being in such a miserable state, I also think it's better this way. 😂 I might say I don't like books where the protagonist suffers, but deep down I can't resist reading books like that. I feel like I'm some kind of weirdo...🤦

This book is amazing! Why is nobody reading it? There are practically no comments. I don't understand. It feels a bit angsty 🥺, but I really like the relationship between Qingning and the guy! Super sweet, super good-looking, definitely worth watching! There are so few viewers, but it's really good! Those who ship the main characters definitely shouldn't miss it!

I really, really love this book, hehehe. Qing Ning's personality is exactly my type – "beautiful, tragic, and strong," hehe. And the amnesia and emotional deprivation setting really resonated with me 💕💕. But it seems like there are still a lot of plot points to be revealed... Is the author planning to kill me off? (•̀へ•́ ╮ )

The author is truly amazing. I usually only read half of most books before giving up, regardless of whether they're finished or not. This is one of the few books I finished reading; it's incredibly exciting. However, hasn't Zhang Qingning suffered from amnesia too much? She's already had amnesia almost three times before the story even ended!!!

Sorry, I can't continue reading, probably because the protagonist's state is similar to mine. I couldn't hold back anymore after reading about ten chapters, and tears kept streaming down my face. I don't even know why I was crying; all I could think about was dying. I almost slapped myself for not being able to hold it in. Giving it five stars, I hope you keep writing!

I'm giving it five stars. I really love this kind of protagonist—sick, aloof, and most importantly, with suicidal and self-destructive tendencies. It's so cool how he casually creates two openings for himself! ❤️❤️ Oh, and by the way, author, remember to update today (draws sword). Waaaaah, I love lime! I love lime!!! ------- (Voice cracks) Great writing, great story!

When you run away from what you fear, it feels good at first; it seems like a relief... However, as you run away from more and more things, the fear intensifies... Until you suddenly realize that you've been overtaken by anxiety, and the world begins to feel incredibly small. Zhang Qingning had run away from too much, forgotten too much.

Reading these kinds of books is so immersive! Sometimes, I really hate that I'm not one of the characters, unable to protect what we want to protect. But it's just a novel! The most important thing is to be happy. If there are regrets, just force the author to write an epilogue, then there won't be any regrets! ❤️😘 But I still want to thank the author for writing such a wonderful novel! 🤭😘

I glanced at the description and saw no romantic pairing, so I'm just curious to ask if I'm the only one shipping Zhang Qiling and Zhang Qingning?
