This long emotional novel takes the protagonist Ling Yun's half-life trajectory as the core thread, connects the marriage ukiyo-e of more than ten couples, and deeply interrogates the marriage dilemma that contemporary people are most concerned about.
Ling Yun has both stunning appearance and extraordinary talent. He is passionate about his ideals and career, but he cannot escape the emotional shackles of "beauties are destined to suffer". When she was ignorant of her youth, she misplaced her true love; a mistake in one thought cost her a lifetime, and she spent half her life with a loveless person. In her half-century of life, she was trapped in the tug and confusion of lust, survived the ups and downs of her family, and endured the ups and downs of society. Half her life passed in the blink of an eye, and she stood at a crossroads in life, forced to face the ultimate choice of marriage and emotion. In the fierce collision between emotion and reason, she came up with a unique realistic solution, and finally realized that marriage, love and sex can not only coexist and unite, but also have their own independent logic of survival. This realization also shines a different light on the lives of all living beings in the book. Age, originality, sexual orientation, perspective, era, type, emotional motif
