Synopsis

Urban Romance / Second-Chance Love / Women’s Growth / Healing and Redemption / Erhai Lake in Dali / Slow-Burn with Lasting Impact / Not Your Typical Wish-Fulfillment Story / If you think this is a story about rekindling an old romance, you’re only half right. Xu Yichuan has spent three years tending a guesthouse by Erhai Lake in Dali called “Waiting for the Wind.” He has also held on to a line written in charcoal on the wall: “The wind in Dali can blow everything away, except you.” Then Lin Wan came back. She became the head of a cultural tourism project and brought a demolition plan to tear down the very place where they had once painted walls, planted flowers, raised a cat, and written the stories of more than four hundred strangers. She has a ring mark on her left ring finger. “Mr. Xu, let’s keep this strictly business.” Then another girl, Su Mian, opens the door and takes out half a piece of jade. A koi’s tail. Half a sun. “I’m a friend of Lin Wan’s,” she says. When the two pieces of jade are put together, they reveal not an old romance but a secret shared by two generations. Ye Zhen’s diary, Su Wenyuan’s sketches, the spruce trees in Wangyue Cave, a sample archive deep in the Cangshan Mountains... A courtyard, a broken piece of jade, the joys and sorrows of more than four hundred ordinary people, and a long war over memory, capital, ecology, and heritage. The most devastating thing about this book isn’t the heartbreak. You think it’s writing about love, but it’s writing about fate. You think it’s writing about demolition, but it’s writing about the soul of a city. You think the villain is just a villain, but after Su Chennuo’s final confession, you won’t be able to hate him. You’ll only feel the sadness of it all. “Happy endings are hard to come by, so cherish every step along the way.” Those were Ye Zhen’s final words, and they set the tone for the entire book.
