   She slowly lay on her side on the marble bench. She took off the scarf around her neck and covered one of her eyes, then continued to curl up slightly on her side, with her legs tightly together. Her eyes looked at the sky through the gap in the scarf, but her eyes were as empty as lifeless. A gust of cold wind blew towards her, messing up her hair, and occasionally the people passing by looked at her, but she didn't react at all. Then a dazzling light hit her eyes. She raised her hands slightly to cover her eyes to block the dazzling light... And also block the pain of longing for Fang Rui in her heart... $

    Reader note

    I originally clicked on "Butterfly Shadow Returns" for its reputation as a novel about abuse in the Republic of China, thinking it was an ordinary love-hate struggle. Unexpectedly, I didn't get out of it for two days after reading it. It does not write earth-shattering bloody plots, it just shows you the life of a Jiangnan lady, slowly crushed into pieces in the war-torn times. Lin Die'er loved, waited, and struggled, but in the end nothing was left, but you can't even find anyone to blame. The most poignant thing is the calmness of the ending - she just goes on holding on to an old hairpin, without hysteria or complaining, but the desolation hidden in the calmness is more uncomfortable than any crying scene. I sincerely recommend it to friends who like delicate sadistic stories. You don't need to prepare too many tissues, but you should be prepared to feel empty for a few days.
