An Ordinary Obsession: Nian Jing's First Book of the Rest of Her Life

Nine Lessons in Life: Everyone Has Their Own Cage

Ordinary people spend their lives trapped by romantic attachments. Bound by the laws of fate and karma, they find it hard to let go, and are all too likely to trap themselves for a lifetime.

Part One: The Rest of Nian Jing's Life

In this vast sea of people, how rare it is for two people to meet.

They meet, come to know each other, fall in love, and choose each other wholeheartedly.

They work hard together in a faraway city, set up street stalls side by side, weather the lean years together, and face life's storms as one.

Part Two: Redemption Through Love

The heroine is trapped in the shadows of her troubled upbringing, her heart covered in scars.

The hero warms her heart with love and gives her his whole heart, determined to help her heal.

He stays by her side as she escapes the pain of her family and leaves the darkness behind.

Part Three: All In

Snow and wind are their matchmaker, their dark hair a promise, and a lantern their guide. Their love will not be betrayed.

The hero loves her with all his heart and willingly marries into her family.

He spends all his savings to cover his in-laws' debts.

After the wedding, he gives her his whole heart, accepting and indulging her in everything.

Her family keeps taking advantage of him through their business, while mother and daughter repeatedly stir up trouble and drag him deeper into the mire.

Then the hero's frail mother falls ill and urgently needs help.

Her family looks on coldly and makes excuse after excuse, their callousness plain for all to see.

He gave his whole heart, only to have his sincerity trampled without a second thought.

At last, he lets go of romance for good.

As a son, he knows his parents' kindness is greater than heaven itself. For the rest of his life, he wants only to care for them and honor his filial duty in peace.

Justice may be late, but it will never be absent.

Next year's snow becomes medicine, strong liquor goes down in one gulp. Everything is fate, and little is in our hands.

There is a cure for longing: the snow that falls next year.

Let go of your obsessions, and spend the rest of your life healing your heart, your thoughts, and yourself. Only then can you find release.
