Synopsis

“Little girl, don’t touch that vinyl. Li Zongsheng will cry.” When Lu Chenzhou took the album The Elves in My Life from her hands, the scent of pinewood at his cuff mingled with the smell of medicine. The twenty-five-year age gap was an uncrossable chasm. He taught her how to brew tea: “Love is like pu’er. The third steep is when the true flavor comes out.” But on the night he coughed up blood, she kissed his cool lips. “What if there’s only one steep left?” The night they eloped, an old-fashioned camera captured her in a white wedding dress at a desolate railway station. He hummed “Across the Ocean to See You,” swallowing the metallic sweetness in his throat into a tender smile. Ten years later, her exhibition opened at a Paris gallery. At its center was a faded photograph, titled “When Love Is a Thing of the Past.” Her assistant handed her a yellowed lyric book, sent before his death. In the blank space he had written: “Forgive me. I never had the courage to climb the hill with you for this ‘Newly Written Old Song.’” Rain suddenly struck the floor-to-ceiling windows, like the blood he had coughed onto her neck that year.

Looking for Angst-Filled Novels!!!!!!

Sigh, I'm cold-blooded by nature and have never cried over a tearjerker. When people in the comments say a book made them cry, at most I feel a little sad. Anyway, I've read things like A Bow to Heaven from years ago, so don't recommend anything unless it's that heartbreaking. And don't recommend me any so-called masterpieces rated 5.5.
