   These three are all angst-filled novels. The first one is incredibly heart-wrenching; you won't know the ending until the very end.

    She casually remarked, "Gardenias smell so good." He remembered it for a lifetime. He bought the house in the south of the city and filled the yard with gardenias. The swing was set up, the children's room was decorated. The flowers bloomed and withered, withered and bloomed again, but she never returned. Later, he locked the bridal chamber, keeping the key and the silver butterfly hairpin close to his body. He would occasionally sit in the yard in the south of the city, staring blankly at the gardenia tree. Finally, he held her dress, clutching her hairpin, and drank all night in the bridal chamber. At dawn, a smile played on his lips, as if he had finally waited for something. Qiao'er didn't cry; she simply placed the hairpin in his hand together with the other one Die'er had left behind, saying, "You are finally reunited." And the gardenia in the crystal ball was forever passed down to their daughter. The gardenia symbolizes "eternal love" and "a lifetime of waiting." But in this book, it is more like "a promise never fulfilled." (From *Butterfly Shadow Returns to Dust*, available on Tomato Readable.) A tragic love story set in the Republican era, with a tragic ending aesthetic. After reading it, you'll want to see that kind of flower, and then you'll remember a woman who never lived in that courtyard.
