"Xie Gongqiu, do you like me?"
"I'll tell you when autumn comes."
A little bit sadistic, but not too much, watch with caution, I love you guys🥰
Seventeen-year-old Xie Gongqiu's life has long been shattered.
Amnesia, domestic violence, being sent to a cruel correctional school, struggling on the edge of despair every day.
Until that afternoon, a soul that only he could see, calling himself Su Yingye, quietly appeared. He was pale and fragile, forgetting everything except his name and "looking for a lover."
For a vain promise, two lost souls start walking together.
Xie Gongqiu struggled to survive in the real purgatory, while Su Yingye's soul searched for clues in the fog of broken memories.
The cold walls, silent bullying, and unseen companionship are their only warmth.
However, as Su Yingye's memory fragments are gradually pieced together, a cruel truth about peony flowers slowly emerges, which is far more suffocating than the suffering in reality.
When Xie Gongqiu finally touches Su Yingye's dusty past, he discovers that the truth is a poisonous double-edged sword.
The law is silent, justice is absent, and the devil that caused all tragedies is still roaming freely in the sun.
Should he live in pain with the truth, or burn himself out to offer the last tribute to the departed soul?
The fates of the two teenagers are tightly intertwined. A journey that begins with desperate companionship will eventually lead to an ending that cannot be turned back.
Can they find final peace and redemption before complete darkness falls?
Reader comments
It was really suffocating in that so-called "reformed" school. I really had a lot of feelings when I escaped. Their pale sacrifices shocked me. I didn't expect anyone to give in to others when it comes to their own lives. Maybe this is the difference between novels and reality. While I was reading, I kept thinking whether the "parents" who sent their children to this place really didn't care at all. After seeing this, this idea disappeared. If they really cared, they would not send people to such a place. Rather than saying that they "care", it is better to say that they are "killing". After escaping, it was Xie's "new life", but there were many people inside. They were so pale that they would even be beaten to death. Xie was still in fear after he came out. Those scum hung him up for a reward, and there were those who wanted to hand him over. . . When he was looking for the secret of Su Yingye's life experience, I was always worried that he would do something illegal because of impulsiveness. Later, he settled down and worked in a noodle shop. But when he met Officer Wang, he thought there was hope, but it couldn't be said to be meaningless. After he told Officer Wang about his experience, I started to think about why Officer Wang didn't care about the "reformed" school. But I forgot that I was from God's perspective. My family has no right to demand that they are not qualified. My so-called empathy is also false. I will never know their true feelings. The latest chapter, where Su Yingye's soul no longer exists and Xie's collapse, is really numb. After reading the introduction, I thought this was a novel about love and redemption, but I was wrong. This is their tragedy. There is no love or even redemption here. I hope this novel can be read by more people, and I also hope that such a "school" in reality can be paid attention to by more people.
