This book is a collection of standalone stories, each built around a line from the ancient text Wise Words to Increase Understanding.
See how “When fortune wanes, gold turns to iron; when the time is right, iron becomes gold” inspires a tale of a wealthy family’s comeback and a lover’s hard-won redemption. See how “You can paint a tiger’s skin, but not its bones” reveals the struggle between a substitute and true love. And see how “You may know people all over the world, but how many truly know your heart?” leads to the ultimate salvation of soulmates.
Every word reflects the ways of the world; every chapter brims with deep emotion. Relive the modern romance hidden in the wisdom of the ancients.
