    The pinnacle of Republican-era tragic romance novels: Xiao Qihao's perspective | "Butterfly, I love you, not because you're my brother's woman." In the Republican-era tragic love story "Butterfly Shadow Returns to Dust," everyone remembers Zhang Zhiming's ten-year search and Yang Yanchen's life-risking protection. But few are willing to stop and look at the illegitimate son nailed to the "villain's" pillar—Xiao Qihao. Today, I want to use his eyes to let you see this story again. --- I am the illegitimate son of the Zhang family. I took my mother's surname, had no official status, lived under someone else's roof, and suffered endless cold looks. My brother, Zhang Zhiming—the legitimate son of the Zhang family's main wife, the heir to the business, everyone praised him for his gentleness, uprightness, and gentlemanly conduct. Why? Why did he have everything from birth, while I didn't even have the right to call my father "father"? This resentment clung to me like a venomous snake for twenty years. Until I met her. That day I went to the Zhang residence to discuss business. Zhang's mother was snobbish; I was just someone who came to deliver money. Amidst the pleasantries in the main hall, she entered carrying tea. Lin Die'er. The heiress my brother married. She's truly beautiful. The stubbornness in her eyes is like a bird unwilling to be caged. She speaks coldly to my brother, her eyes piercing, unlike the meek and obsequious women of other women. At that moment, I knew—I wanted her. Not because my brother possessed her. Because she is who she is. The inextinguishable fire in her eyes was something I had never seen in anyone else in my life. I envied my brother, envied his status, his family fortune, and her. But I envied even more—that he could openly stay by her side even when she didn't love him. And I, even glancing at her required feigned indifference. --- I began to stay at the Zhang residence for a few more days, using business as a pretext to learn every detail of her routine. When she went to the cosmetics shop in the morning, when she returned home at dusk, when she sat alone by the pond at night, lost in thought. She didn't know. She never knew. Her heart was filled with hatred for my brother; she couldn't see the pair of eyes lurking in the shadows, practically watching her every move. Later, I got her. Through dishonest means. Zhang's mother was greedy, the Zhang family was ruined, and I took advantage of the situation. I had clashed with my brother in business, but this battle was the real prize I wanted—I imprisoned her in a separate courtyard, guarding her day and night; I wanted her to be my woman. She hated me. She bit her lip until it bled, refusing to let me touch her. But later, she became obedient. She stopped resisting, even curling up in my arms to sleep at night. I thought she had finally resigned herself to her fate. Until one night, I heard her call out in her sleep, "Zhiming..." Not hatred, not resentment. Those two words were very soft, as soft as a dream, but I heard the dependence in them—something she would never admit in her waking life. I trembled. Not with anger, but with fear. I suddenly realized that even if I kept her locked up by my side for the rest of my life, she would never call my name in that tone. I numbed myself with opium. I can't give up her, nor can I give up the only thing in this world that can make me forget her. --- She gave birth to a son for me. I was ecstatic. I had a son, my son with her. I named him Yi'an—meaning "unwavering" and "peaceful." I poured all my hopes and dreams into this child. I thought that as long as this child was here, she wouldn't go far. But she left. While I was in seclusion to quit opium, my mother sold her to a brothel far away. The day I came out, the villa was empty, not a single one of her belongings remained, as if she had never lived there. I searched frantically. Streets and alleys, docks and wharves, everywhere she might have gone. Nothing. Like a stone sinking into the sea. For those few years, I was like a walking corpse. Ping'er took care of Yi'an, managing the household perfectly. I was grateful to her, but I couldn't give her anything else. I made Ping'er my official wife, and we had a son and a daughter. But I knew in my heart that Yi'an was different. I favored Yi'an, so much so that everyone could see it. Because Yi'an was the only remaining connection between her and me. Until that day—a trusted confidant brought news. She was dead. She took a bullet for someone else, a bullet through her heart. The book in my hand fell to the ground with a "thud." Yi'an called my name beside me, but I couldn't hear her. I rushed out of the room, the wind and rain rushing into my collar, the wind in my ears sounding like it was calling her name. So many years of searching, so many years of waiting, so many years of obsession. And in the end, all I got was news of her death. I didn't even get to see her one last time. I didn't even have a chance to say "I'm sorry." I returned to the Xiao residence and secluded myself for three days. I found the golden butterfly hairpin she had left behind—it was a gift from my brother, she took it with her when she left, and it was later left in the other courtyard, becoming my only memento. I clutched the hairpin, remembering the words I had spoken to her that night when I lost control. She said, "I'm just your trophy." In the empty room, I said to the hairpin, "Butterfly, I love you. Because you are you, not some trophy." No one heard. She wouldn't hear me anymore. From then on, I poured all my energy into the front lines of the War of Resistance. Medicine, food, cotton clothing—all the methods and connections I had used in business warfare were transformed into the power to save the country and its people. I hated Zhang Zhiming, hated him my whole life. But when the country was in peril, I had wronged too many people, but I could never wrong this land. For the rest of my life, I would only do two things—save the country, and raise her son. Yi'an grew up day by day, his features becoming less and less like mine. But I dared not think about it too much. I poured all my guilt, indebtedness, and obsession into him, teaching him to read and write, to love his country and do good. I believed until my death that he was my own flesh and blood. But I will never know, and no one will ever tell me—Yi'an is her and Zhang Zhiming's child. She gritted her teeth and survived, just so that I could raise the child of my enemy for the rest of my life. --- This is my life, Xiao Qihao's life. Not a good person. But not a purely evil person either. An illegitimate child whose reason was burned away by jealousy. He was a madman who used the most despicable means to force love, only to end up empty-handed. He was a pathetic creature who, in the end, didn't even know who the father of the son he raised his whole life was. If you read *Butterfly Shadow Returns to Dust*, please hate me. And please remember me. Because in this book, some people grow old for love, some die for love—and I, Xiao Qihao, became a ghost for love. I made too many mistakes in this life. In the next life, I only ask to meet her sooner, and to be someone worthy of her, openly and honestly.
