    Reader note

    There's a line in *Butterfly Shadow Returns to Dust* that you'll skip over the first time you read it, be stunned the second time, and cry the third time. In the prologue, after turning the street corner, she says in her heart, "Zhang Zhiming. I didn't run away with anyone. I didn't abandon you. I just... Can't acknowledge you." She'd held onto this line for ten years. He knelt outside her door for a whole day, while she watched from the second floor, her fingers digging into her palms until they bled, her face expressionless. He poured all his wealth into proposing marriage, and she said, "Sir, you've mistaken me for someone else." He hugged her from behind and said, "I will only love you for the rest of my life." She froze in his arms, her nails digging into her palms, afraid to move, afraid to breathe, afraid to let him see her tears. He never knew until his death that when she said those words, her heart was already broken. It wasn't that she didn't want to acknowledge him; she knew—if she acknowledged him, he would die. *Butterfly Shadow Returns to Dust*, completed by Tomato. That line is the lightest, yet the heaviest, line in the entire book.
