Reality is as cold as a knife, virtuality is as warm as a dream.
Liu Ruoxi's life was engraved with two calamities: a congenital heart disease, and the death of a child who was only ten months old. When her marriage broke down and she was suffering from illness, she accidentally clicked into a live broadcast room and spent half her life in this virtual haven.
But when the traffic coerced people's hearts and when sincerity was clearly marked with a price, she was shocked to realize that the "family" on the other side of the screen was no match for the reality.
Why does a journey that started with companionship lead to suspicion and breakup step by step?

Reader comments
In social interactions in real life, people always wrap themselves up with a protective layer. When they meet someone they can chat with through a screen, they will easily remove the protective layer and open their hearts naturally. This is the beginning of sinking. This novel is written with real feelings and is worth reading!
The story "Swan Song" is a realistic fable for contemporary lonely people. The story uses Ruoxi's frail body as a clue to reveal the warmth and limitations of virtual companionship, and also illuminates the tenacity and boundaries of real emotions. I did not deliberately pile up bloody conflicts, but mixed the live broadcast ecology, emotional labor and women's plight into daily breathing. Ruoxi's "obsession" is not weakness, but an extreme desire to "be seen"; her departure is not a defeat, but a awakening to illusion and a letting go of reality. The whole book does not pursue a sense of refreshment, but only leaves a lingering warmth. I hope readers will understand when they close the page: no matter how bright the light is on the screen, someone still needs to leave a light for you in reality. Virtuality can be a temporary residence, and reality can take root.
It's down-to-earth, pyrotechnics, and emotionally delicate. I want to continue following it to see how the story develops.

A fox can't become a spirit, it's true.
