My Spring of Escape

Qiu Lie & Jiang Yizhou Qiu Lie was like a hollow parasol tree, searching everywhere for soil in which to put down roots. Her life was one escape after another. At seventeen, she fled the plum rains of Ling County, leaving behind the endless countryside and the croaking frogs in the rice paddies. At twenty-five, she fled the embodiment of power, while Shanghai's subway swallowed countless faces worn down by fatigue. At thirty, she lay low in the blizzards of Haijin, with rapidly growing roots and ambition buried beneath a calm surface. Everyone thought Qiu Lie was a coward. Only Jiang Yizhou told her, “Run. Running is how you stay alive.” It was only when she looked into Jiang Yizhou's eyes that she realized leaving a city didn't mean leaving behind everything connected to it. What she truly had to escape was the self that had been trapped. And so, at last, the world grew wide beneath her pen. P.S. This is actually an inspirational story about Qiu Lie, who is all alone, traveling south and north, drifting from place to place, and ultimately finding the freedom she wants. There are several romance storylines, but Jiang Yizhou is the official pairing. Full story completed on January 1, 2026 Revision completed on January 13, 2026 Theme: An inspiring story of perseverance
