This is a fantasy legend that took place from the late 1940s to the early 1980s. When Hongdou, a beauty from Jinhang Village, got married, her father, Tang Chunshui, a run-down landowner, secretly gave her an antique, and a golden centipede followed it like it had wings. From then on, disaster followed her closely, spanning decades of intertwined love and hatred... The book contains a profound revelation of the nature of human nature and a helpless statement of the absurd years.
The author is a well-known nostalgia prose writer. He spent fourteen years working hard, carefully polishing every word and sentence, and told us a poignant, magical and frightening story with a prose-like and beautiful writing style, and also painted a mellow picture of rural pastoral scenery for us.
