Synopsis

Highland ascetic × geology newbie bunny | Tibetan redemption × doting daddy-type romance

Through the bleak, stifling years of growing up in a small town, Lin Xi was never cherished. Geology was the only rope she had to escape with, but it also brought her to the brink of death, in a blizzard in the uninhabited wilderness of Ngari, Tibet. As she hovered between life and death, a low, warm voice called her back.

After a brief refuge in his warmth, fate brought them together again at a Buddhist temple in Lhasa. He was her guide on a geological expedition, a treasure trove of knowledge, and the pebble tossed into the still lake of her heart. She edged closer with cautious steps while he protected her with calm restraint, until a sudden car accident shattered his self-control like a broken string of prayer beads.

The night she nearly died, a blizzard swallowed the wilderness of Ngari.

Curled up in an ice fissure, Lin Xi heard sutras pierce the storm. A man in bloodstained monk’s robes clawed through the frozen earth with his bare hands, his prayer beads winding around her frozen wrist. “Hold on to me.”

Later, beside the Lhasa River, he tore the Kangyur scriptures to shreds with his own hands.

Palu, now returned to lay life, fastened a dzi bead necklace at her collarbone. “I knelt before the Buddha for twenty years. I wasn’t cultivating a next life, but the path to marrying you.”

A geological hammer strikes a prayer wheel | The temple and the mortal world both fall for her

▶ He breaks his vows: At the crash site, hydraulic cutters rip through his robes. He pries open the mangled car door with his bare hands, and the ring mark on his ring finger vanishes in a pool of blood.

▶ He breaks his heart’s defenses: An oxygen mask is placed over her pale face. He pulls off his own mask and presses his forehead to hers. “Lin Xi, breathe!” His scorching kiss pours into her in the thin air.

▶ He lets go of his obsession: The man drops to one knee in the snow, uses a Tibetan knife to cut off his robe, and wraps it around her injured leg.

The first lesson for a Buddhist son returning to lay life is learning to turn a kasaya into a wedding dress.

I like it very much, the writing is beautiful and the emotions are delicate. Especially the first half is full of a sense of redemption and destiny. The emotions that are reserved and abstinent but yet stretched to the extreme are beautiful. The second half is a bit utopian. . . Perhaps, this is a beautiful dream given by the author to those ordinary little white rabbits who are not loved and broken. At least the dream is sweet, and there will still be sweet warmth after waking up to comfort life. Thank you for meeting me, and I hope the author can write more warm stories with his pen.

I like several of the author's books very much, explaining the beauty of life with the most sincere and beautiful love. The charm of writing lies in allowing readers to calm down and immerse themselves in the people and things in Tibet. I yearn for the freedom of Tibet and the truth, goodness and beauty of love~ It would be great if the author could write more "poems" about Tibetan love~ Thank you!

I am very satisfied with it now and it is very beautiful. Especially in the early stage, the male and female protagonists hide their emotions and love each other that cannot be said. The male protagonist also describes every time he cares for the female protagonist vividly. In the later period, the sweetness of the married life of the two is really delicate. It may be the first time I read a Tibetan text and I don't understand some parts, but it is very beautiful and really interesting. Since I read the author's novel, I have searched a lot online about Tibetan traditional culture and the Ali Jokhang Temple. Tibet is the place I most want to visit in my life, and it is also an obsession that I will never go to. I plan to read this novel again. I have never read the novel again in almost 20 years. The author must continue to update it. I am obsessed with not being able to go. I hope I can feel the beauty and shock of Tibet between the lines of your words. Reading your novel makes me feel like I have gone to Tibet.

The brushstrokes are delicate, and you can deeply feel the emotional fluctuations of the characters, as well as the pure beauty of Tibet, which makes people yearn for it.
