Feathered Love Returns to the Book

Also known as A Letter Returning with Feathered Affection

“Reunion after a long separation” + “marriage before love” + “pursuing his wife” + “mutual salvation”

“A beautiful, independent heroine fallen on hard times, and a cool-faced, shrewd elite hero”

Reunion.

Zhao Yishu, whose family has fallen on hard times, runs into an old acquaintance at her best friend’s birthday party.

A deliberately careless “helping hand” from Qian Lingyu leads them into a shallow transactional relationship.

A man who has drifted through a field of flowers without a single leaf sticking to him gradually falls under the spell of a plain, quiet woman who stays by his side day and night.

Marriage.

He says, “Sign it, and I’ll be completely yours to boss around.”

If there’s one regret in his life, it’s that he doesn’t have enough children. He wants a couple more.

Divorce.

He says, “What’s there to miss? There are plenty of women out there. You can find any kind you want.”

She thinks he’s a heartless, cold-blooded playboy after all.

Pursuing his wife.

He says, “Until you’ve figured out whether you can forgive me, could you please not accept any other man’s kindness? And don’t leave Lincheng.”

“It’s all right if you leave. Wherever you go, please take me with you. I can eat less, and I can do manual labor.”

She tells him to get lost, but he refuses, clinging to her like taffy, sweet and sticky.
