Synopsis

The story began in 2019. It was a turbulent time, and I stopped writing after a hasty 50,000 words. Then, in May 2020, I finished it. At 250,000 words, it is too short to cover all the joys and sorrows of this bustling world through the changing years. It tells only of several years spent wandering through life. The story is based entirely on real events. Freedom, marriage, career, money, family, friendship. As someone born in the 1990s, I have always questioned the world. I hoped to find answers on a purposeless journey, and so this book came to be. On life’s hurried road, sometimes “goodbye” means we’ll meet again, and sometimes “goodbye” means never again. In the end, we are all wanderers in this world, traveling toward the end of an ordinary life.

Looking for a Low-Key, Everyday Love Story Between Ordinary People

I've read lots of books where the protagonist has a cheat. Now I want an ordinary love story and an ordinary, peaceful life. Historical or modern romance is fine, any era. I'm tired of generals, marquises, CEOs, and emperors. I'd like to read stories where their subordinates are the main characters.
