   Reader note

   I recommend this unique and thrilling war novel. It's not a "Bright Sword" type story, and it doesn't have a system or feel like a fantasy drama. The protagonist is reborn into a card world and uses cards to kill the Japanese. From individual resistance to a small team, and then to a large-scale frontal battle, it gets increasingly explosive. There are some heart-wrenching moments, enough to make you cry, but once the pacing picks up, you can't stop reading.

    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.
