[Fourteen-year age gap · sapiosexual romance · divorced urban planner × troubled philosophy student · mutual healing · slow-burn secret crush · pure love · unhurried pace]
A person with an emptiness inside meets someone else who has one too.
Chen Shi, 36, is divorced, trapped by the regrets of his marriage and the pain of being separated from his child. Sheng Xia, 22, is caught between her own conflicting desires and questions about life and death. They meet one spring afternoon in a framing shop: a blood-red page of scripture, a few ordinary incidents, and the hidden sorrows and struggles of a handful of everyday people. Amid the mundane rhythms of life, warmth slowly takes root, and they learn to grow.
Everyone has their own karma, and everyone has their own lessons to learn.
Between loving and not loving, there has always been a road each person must walk alone.
So it is with stories, and so it is with life.
I saw it when I visited the bookstore by chance... I personally like slow-paced writing, and I think it's pretty good. From the author's first few updates to now, I've basically followed it. I think the discussion of some issues in it is quite good. There are also pain, heartbeat, withdrawal and helplessness... Human nature is the result of the seven emotions and six desires, and it is something accumulated in slow writing, which makes people feel more at ease! Dear author, please come on and be a breath of fresh air in this fast-paced and refreshing novel. Also, you have a lot of wrong punctuation marks... I have obsessive-compulsive disorder...[Crying with laughter]
