Spring Returns to the Willows

In the tenth year of living together with Li Huai'an, a pair of Liu swallows flew into Yancheng in Mobei. The siblings each had their own agenda, and their arrival made Li Jinchun grow up fast, forcing her to recognize the delusion taking root and growing stronger in her heart.

But this delusion was forbidden by the great moral principles of society. Like a spark spreading through a field, it set her heart ablaze, leaving the young girl lost in a painful fog.

Finally, after Li Huai'an fled and turned away from her again and again, she chose to let go and forget him.

But the man who had once been as cool and distant as the bright moon hanging high in the cold night went red-eyed with madness.

He held her captive in the crook of his arm, tears streaming down his face as he asked in a hoarse voice, “Ranran, do you not want your Third Brother anymore?”

Li Jinchun had a secret she could never let see the light of day.

It had weighed on her heart for years, and every time she remembered it, she felt like a rat in a gutter, utterly repulsive.

But someone came toward her against the light, determined to lead her into it.

No matter how coldly she rejected him time and again, he stubbornly insisted on walking beside her.

When their love came to light, there was nowhere left to hide her secret.

And when the dream she had held for years finally came true, she suddenly remembered his words: “When spring returns, the willows…”
