Fusang in July

Top-tier wealthy families + a repressed, manic, unhinged heroine + a calculating heroine with a complicated background who will stop at nothing to rise to power + neither is each other's first + mutual healing

A story about a scheming illegitimate fallen angel and a twisted madwoman.

Yi Xi once thought she would never see Jiang Ni again. She believed she would forget everything that happened during that hot, hazy summer of her youth.

Yi Xi followed Jiang Ni step by step into her world, only to discover that Jiang Ni's background was far more complicated than she had imagined.

In the end, family pressure forced Yi Xi to part from Jiang Ni. She thought she could forget everything about that midsummer.

But in New York, Yi Xi suffered a manic episode and came close to death. The person she most wanted to see then was Jiang Ni.

Jiang Ni had been framed and was in grave danger. Yet she still softly comforted Yi Xi, who couldn't stop trembling, and held her gently as she whispered, “I'm here. Don't be afraid.”

Jiang Ni was a woman of considerable means, but even she couldn't overcome the power of the powerful. In the end, both of them became pawns cast aside by those in power.

One was forced into an arranged marriage and made to bear a child; the other never married.

Then, on a summer night when hibiscus flowers were in bloom, Jiang Ni watched as the haggard Yi Xi came closer and gently kissed her cheek.

“I'm glad I found you.”
