    🦋 The ceiling of cruel writing in the Republic of China | "Butterfly Shadow Returns to Dust" --- [Crying] "She gave birth to a son for him, but the son was not his biological son." At the age of fifteen, she was a scholarly daughter held in the palm of her family. I don't want to take another look at the dark-skinned, honest and clumsy man. On their wedding night, she swore in tears that she would rather die than obey. He stayed silent for four months, sleeping in the study every night, without ever crossing the line. Until that slap - her elder brother hit her, and he was the first to rush to protect her. He squatted down and touched her red and swollen cheeks with his trembling fingertips, and asked with red eyes: "Does it hurt?" At that moment, she was confused. --- "She has changed her identity six times and her name three times in her life." A daughter from a famous family. A young woman from the Zhang family. Prisoner of the deep house. The brothel clears the brothel. Japanese female spy. The dead soul who blocks the gun for others. There is only one name, which belongs to me until death - Lin Die'er. --- "When we met again on the street ten years later, she said in Japanese: You recognized the wrong person." "すみません, あなたは... You recognized the wrong person." He froze in place. She turned around and walked into the crowd, her back straight, without any nostalgia. Turning the corner, she leaned against the cold wall, covered her mouth, and cried silently. He didn't run away with anyone. She didn't want him. She just couldn't recognize him. --- "He didn't know until his death that he had hugged his biological son." The child named Yi'an looked very much like him. He smiled and hugged her, and said, "This child is so beautiful." He didn't know that it was the flesh and blood of Die'er who worked hard to give birth to her in another courtyard. He didn't even know that the "father" the child recognized was the person he hated the most. --- A pair of silver butterfly hairpins are divided into two places, a sign of love for half a life and parting for the rest of their lives. The butterfly disappears into the dust and smoke, and there is no time to wait for its return. 📖"Butterfly Shadow Returns to Dust" - time difference, ultimate BE, the peak of sadomasochism in the Republic of China. ---
