Synopsis

Pure Love · Male-Male Romance · Republic of China Era · Redemption · Angsty Romance

Winters in Wucheng claimed lives. Xie Guiwan was supposed to be the eighteenth.

As he counted the seven nooses he had tied in the ramshackle house, someone knocked at the door.

Sesame cakes, a scarf, candles, a hand warmer: Qin Shuye passed them through the crack one by one.

The note tucked underneath read: “It’s cold at night. Cover yourself with another layer.”

Later, he moved into a house with a parasol tree, learned to write the character for “spring,” and came to understand what “love” meant.

As they parted, Qin Shuye smiled and said, “Wait for me to come back.”

Xie Guiwan waited through three bitter winters. What came back to him was a cold brass hand warmer and half a notebook, burned to a cinder.

On the final page, the handwriting was blurred by the flames. He could just make out one line: “The parasol trees in Wucheng have sprouted. Tell him spring... has come.”

Spring truly had come, but the one he waited for would never return.

He finally understood: home was wherever Qin Shuye was.

Now that Qin Shuye was gone, Xie Guiwan had no spring left.

In a Terrible Reading Slump: I Drop 9.8-Rated Books After Ten Chapters and 9.7-Rated Ones After Five

I'm so out of books to read, but I'm incredibly picky. For "Ten Thousand People Are Browsing", I made it only thirty chapters before dropping it. I used to read "Dragon King" past chapter 400, but now I dropped "Slay the Gods" after just twenty chapters.
