   Reader note

   Highly recommended! This Republican-era novel is filled with poignant moments, hiding the most ruthless revenge and the deepest redemption. Here's a summary of some plot points that really resonated with me: 1. **Extreme Contrast:** The female protagonist is sold by her mother-in-law to her husband's illegitimate younger brother at the beginning. To survive, she becomes pregnant with her husband's child, only to have her enemy believe it's her own. "She grits her teeth and survives, just so he can raise her enemy's child for the rest of his life." This setup is brilliant! 2. **Fated Missed Opportunity:** During ten years of turmoil, she becomes a Japanese spy, and he spends a long time searching for her. When they meet again on a long street, he only receives a few awkward words in Japanese: "Sir, you've mistaken me for someone else." —Deeply in love, yet forced to pretend not to recognize each other—this is the most heart-wrenching thing. 3. **Character's Fate:** The line in the book, "She never knew who she loved most until her death," has stayed with me for a long time. Was it Zhang Zhiming, the businessman who stunned the world, or Yang Yanchen, the benefactor who softened the years? Perhaps this is the helplessness one feels in chaotic times. In the end, the romance of life couldn't last, but their deep affection transcended life and death. For those who enjoy angst and tragic endings, this is a must-read.

   Book Recommendation from Xiao Qihao's Perspective: The Pinnacle of Republican-Era Torture Romance: *Butterfly Shadow Returns to Dust* | "I stole my brother's wife, raised my enemy's son, yet died without knowing the truth." My name is Xiao Qihao. An illegitimate son of the Zhang family, I took my mother's surname and wasn't entitled to be included in the family genealogy. I lived in the shadows from childhood, like a stray dog ​​that couldn't see the light. I hated Zhang Zhiming. I hated his legitimate status, hated his substantial family fortune—and even more, hated that he married Lin Die'er. The day I first saw her, she stood in the courtyard, wearing a light green silk dress. Her features were exquisite, her demeanor as serene as the moon. At that moment, I knew I wanted her. At any cost. I learned her routine, observed her every move, and hid behind the artificial hill to watch her sit by the pond, lost in thought. I thought, she didn't love Zhang Zhiming—there wasn't a trace of warmth in her eyes when she looked at him. Since she didn't love him, why couldn't she be mine? Later, I finally got her. With the most despicable means. With a large sum of money, with lies, with a deal with that wicked mother-in-law, I imprisoned her in a separate courtyard, guarding her day and night. She refused to look at me, refused to speak to me, yet in her dreams she called out that person's name. It's alright, I told myself. In this life, you can only lie beside me. She gave birth to a son. I was overjoyed. I thought, with a child, she would finally accept her fate. But I was wrong. While I was quitting opium, my mother sold her to a brothel a thousand miles away. When I returned, she had vanished without a trace. I searched for her for many years. Later, I finally heard news of her. It was news of her death. She changed her name, became a Japanese spy, and took a bullet for someone—dying in the arms of a man I didn't know. At that moment, I understood. I thought I had taken away spoils of war. In fact, I had taken away the only light in my own life. I held the gold butterfly hairpin she had left behind, locking myself in my room for three days and three nights. I didn't cry. I just sat by the window, recalling the only thing she ever said that broke my heart. She said: "I'm just your trophy." No, Die'er. I love you. Because you are you, not some trophy. Later, I poured all my guilt onto our "son." I taught him to read, to love his country, to be an upright person. I believed until my death that he was my own flesh and blood. I never knew until my death that that child—the only bloodline left in this world by the person I hated most and the woman I loved most. And I, for the sake of my enemy, raised his child for a lifetime. I am Xiao Qihao. In this life, I have done too many wrong things. But there is one thing I never regret—I loved Lin Die'er. Although this love was wrong from the very beginning.
