On our third wedding anniversary, I dressed up carefully, waiting for him to have dinner together. Instead, he took his secretary home, making me the laughingstock of the entire restaurant. I quietly finished that expensive, cold meal, went home, and signed the divorce papers. He smashed a million-dollar antique vase, sneering, "Lin Wan, do you think you can live without me?" I pulled my suitcase, not looking back. He didn't know that my late-stage stomach cancer diagnosis was hidden beneath the divorce papers. Later, he searched for me frantically all over the world. All he found was a suicide note. It contained only one sentence: "Cheng Yanbai, this time, I truly cannot live."

Reader note

They all called me a crazy villain, but I just wanted to beat my brother once—even just once. My name is Xiao Qihao. An illegitimate son of the Zhang family, born with my mother's surname, Xiao. From childhood to adulthood, I've never won anything over him. He's the eldest son of the Zhang family, the rightful heir. I'm a stain on my father's reputation, a bastard living under someone else's roof. He's a successful businessman, kind and upright; everyone says Mr. Zhang is a gentleman. What good are my literary and martial talents? In the Zhang family, I'm not even worthy to call him "brother." I refuse to accept this. What he has, I'll take. I destroyed his family business; I bribed his mother. Until that day, I saw her at the Zhang mansion—Lin Die'er. She stood by the pond, clutching a steamed bun in her hand, crumbling it handful by handful, scattering it to the koi. Her eyes held hatred, pain, and resentment. At that moment, I suddenly felt that she and I were the same kind of person. We were both people trampled underfoot by fate. I thought, I must have her. No, not just thought—I must. Zhang's mother and I conspired to sell her to me. I imprisoned her in a separate courtyard, forcing her to become my woman. She resisted, struggled, glaring at me with the coldest eyes and stabbing me with the harshest words. But I didn't care. I thought that as long as I kept her by my side, one day she would turn around and look at me. Even just once. Later, she gave birth to a son for me. I was overjoyed. I thought, I have a home now. With her, with my child, I am no longer that unwanted bastard. I even tried to treat her the way I treated him—collecting her favorite snacks, decorating her favorite room, letting go of all my malice, and learning to be gentle. But she never smiled in front of me. She only let her guard down when she was asleep. And the name she called in her dreams was never mine. "Zhiming..." Those two words, as light as a sigh, were like a knife stabbing into my heart. She was by my side, but she never had me in her heart. Never. I became addicted to opium, living in a daze. While I was trying to quit, my mother sold her to a brothel. When I emerged, she had vanished from this world. I searched for her for years, driven mad with longing. Finally, I received news of her death. She took a bullet for me, dying in another man's arms. Before she died, she promised that man that in the next life they would be an ordinary couple. All she left me was that golden butterfly hairpin—one of the two things she carried with her when she left, a keepsake she never had a chance to return. I knelt before the Buddha, holding the hairpin, and suddenly remembered her words to me: "I am merely your trophy." No. Never. I love you. Because you are you. Not a trophy. Later, I poured all my guilt into the child she left behind. I taught him to read and write, to value family and country, to be an upright person. I believed until my death that he was my own flesh and blood. No one told me the truth. So be it, let me live out my life with this thought. The world says I'm a villain. I accept it. I was jealous of him, schemed against him, and destroyed what he cherished most. But my feelings for her were genuine. From beginning to end, they were genuine. If I had met her by the pond that year—would everything have been different? No one can answer me. And she will never know. *Butterfly Shadow Returns to Dust* | The Pinnacle of Republican-Era Tragic Romance and Tragic Ending Aesthetics. This is a story of one woman and three men. But today, I want you to hear the voice of the "villain." He is neither purely good nor inherently evil. He is a pitiful man consumed by jealousy and obsession in a chaotic world. He loved someone with the most despicable means and spent the longest remaining life repaying that debt. Human romance cannot wait for a lasting union; the butterfly shadow returns to dust, with no return to be awaited. If you prefer stories that aren't simply black and white, not mass-produced saccharine narratives, but rather stories imbued with a sense of destiny, a sense of being torn apart, and extreme regret, then this book is worth reading slowly and attentively.
