Qian Zhongxue

Two souls reunited in four lifetimes. Each life is separated by the barriers of identity, position and era, and each life chooses to move towards each other. Volume 1·Snow in Chang'an. During the Xiantong period of the late Tang Dynasty, Xie Zhao, who disguised herself as a man, took the imperial examination with her late mother's wishes in mind and uncovered military corruption in the Imperial Academy. Shen Tinglan followed a dream to find her. His identity was exposed and Xie Zhao was imprisoned. Shen Tinglan resigned from office to rescue him in exchange for an exile. Farewell: "See you again in the next life." Volume 2·Fenghuolu. In Shanghai in 1925, Xie Zhao was a newspaper reporter and Shen Tinglan was the daughter of a warlord. An arms smuggling report led them to secretly form a political alliance. One of them secretly communicated with the intelligence, and the other risked his own life. When the war breaks out, one person stays behind and the other evacuates. "See you in the next life." Volume 3·Floating City. In contemporary Jiangcheng, building collapse accidents occur. Xie Zhao is an investigative reporter pursuing the truth, and Shen Tinglan is a defense lawyer for the companies involved. Xie Zhao once pulled Shen Tinglan out of the quagmire in college, but now they meet again and are on both sides of the offensive and defensive sides of the same case. The words that were barely spoken were left for next time. "If there is a future.' Volume 4: A Thousand Dreams. 2087, The era of digital memory. Xie Zhao is a memory archaeologist, and Shen Tinglan studies the continuity of AI consciousness. They discovered that the "déjà vu" of Entanglement III was not an illusion, but a memory resonance at the quantum level. In this life, there is finally no need to separate. "I hate myself for covering up my poems with my clothes on, and I raise my head in vain to envy my name on the list. "A poem from a thousand years ago is the starting point. Snow for four generations, cold for thousands of years. It is a love story, and it is also a story of two people who have been crushed by the times, standing up repeatedly and saving each other." Purpose: In mainstream narratives, the friendship between women is often simplified to "best friends" or "budding love". This work attempts to write about a more complex female relationship, how two people who have carried the world alone since childhood learn to give part of their weight to another person. Soul pulling is not a golden finger from heaven. The opposition in every life is a real political opposition - honest officials and powerful people, journalists and warlords' daughters, investigative journalists and corporate lawyers. They face the same multiple-choice question in every life: stand opposite each other, or stand beside each other? The four reincarnations did not make them destined to be together, but gave them four opportunities to see them make the same choice each time. This is not an inevitability of fate, but a repeated verification of free will.
