   Lin Guangyao picked up his pen and added a line below the hastily written suicide note: "Wang Tianfeng, head of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station. Died for his country on the 25th day of the first month of 1939. Does anyone remember him?" He put down his pen, folded the letter, and placed it at the bottom of the drawer. There, locked away, was another piece of paper with four lines of poetry: "Where can a drifting duckweed find its anchor in this chaotic world? Only the plum blossoms reflected in the snow. Do not say that the road ahead is full of frost and snow, for our hearts are connected by a single thread of understanding." The ink had faded somewhat. He gently stroked those lines, as if stroking an old dream that could never be returned to. Outside the window, the lights of No. 76 Across the street were still bright. Behind one of the windows, a woman in a black uniform was looking down, flipping through the files she needed to process that night. She did not look up. He did not wait. He simply closed the drawer, stood up, and walked to the window. The night in Shanghai was always so unfathomably black. But he knew that even the darkest night would eventually give way to dawn. I just wonder if those who never wake up again after dawn will feel any regret. Lin Guangyao stood there for a long time. Long enough for the moon to move from the top of the sycamore tree to the eaves. Long enough for the clock to strike eleven. Long enough for him to finally say to himself: Zhou Wenhao, I've finished writing your poem for you. Wang Tianfeng, I've preserved your name for you. I'm still walking the path you walked. The day I can no longer walk, I will stop, just like you.

    The pinnacle of Republican-era tragic romance, *Butterfly Shadow Returns to Dust* | "Sir, you've mistaken me for someone else"—with one sentence, she severed his ten-year obsession. At fifteen, she was Lin Die'er, a daughter of a prestigious family. Forced to marry a dark-skinned man with a square face and thick eyebrows. On her wedding night, she tearfully vowed never to submit. Later, she became a young wife in the Zhang family. For four months, he slept in the study and on the floor, never crossing the line. Until that slap—he was the first to rush forward, shielding her behind him, his trembling hand gently stroking her swollen cheek, his eyes red as he asked, "Does it hurt?" At that moment, she suddenly couldn't tell if it was resentment, hatred, or love. She had just mustered the courage to tell him, "I'm pregnant with your child," but her mother-in-law, under the guise of profit, sold her to her husband's half-son. Later still, she became a prisoner in a deep mansion. Confined to a separate courtyard, she suffered torment day and night, giving birth to a son. The man didn't know—the child wasn't his. She gritted her teeth and survived, just so he would raise the child of his enemy for the rest of his life. Then came the courtesan. Then came the Japanese spy, Chiba Kaoruko. Finally, the soul who took a bullet for someone else. Six identities, three names. Only the name "Lin Die'er" belonged to her until death. 🥺🥺🥺 Ten years of turmoil, a chance encounter on a long street. His temples were streaked with gray, and he rushed forward like a madman, grabbing her wrist. She merely coldly pulled her hand away, saying in broken Japanese, "Sir, you've mistaken me for someone else." 🥺🥺 Turning the corner, she leaned against the cold wall, covered her mouth, and wept silently. He died without knowing that the child he had held in the Xiao mansion, named Yi'an, was his and her only son. She died without knowing who she had loved most in her life. Human romance could not wait for a long-lasting union; the butterfly's shadow returned to dust, with no return to be awaited.
