This morning, standing in that old house and looking back on the past, Jin Chen suddenly realized that half her life had been time, and the other half had been him. Every tear she had ever shed was for him. Jin Chen had once been grateful to him many times over: he had given her a "home" and a peaceful life, and in the end, he had also given her closure. But now Jin Chen wished she could ride time back. She couldn't start over, but at least she could keep herself from being entangled with him for so long.
There are several ways to look at Jin Chen's life. In his eyes, she was the apple of his eye. But to everyone else, she was simply living out a script someone else had written for her: naive and ignorant, led around in circles, hurting herself while entertaining others.
With shameless audacity, I have to say that the later parts are a mess, and I need to rewrite them.
I've always believed that people's hearts are the hardest things to warm for one another.
For the reader who pointed out that the age gap between Song Nie and Jin Chen wasn't clear, here's an explanation. At first, I planned for them to be 14 years apart, but I changed it to 16 years while writing because the story called for it. I forgot to update a few places because I was writing too hastily.
My old story, "Love Letter," is being extensively revised. Please stop by and show it some support.
About the locked stories: I think those few really aren't worth reading. I'll revise them when I have time. If they're still no good afterward, I'll delete them.
This is my last story. I expect to finish it before May Day, and after that I won't write any more. Maybe I've finally realized that I'm not suited to writing novels. Or perhaps I really should take a gamble on my future, so I can't afford to waste any more time.
I hope everyone will support this story. I'm begging you to leave comments and ratings. Kind readers, please let me go with a little less regret.
The background music is the piano version of "Yearning Through Time and Space." The previous one was a section of an insert song from "Fumina no A" and "The Garden of Sinners 2."
Theme:
I watched This Morning twice, about a year apart. I didn't understand much the first time. Then I finally figured out the relationship between the characters the second time. It's been almost a year since I last watched it. I've almost forgotten many of the details. I only remember that I loved talking in Dong Shixiao when I was a kid. I remember that dance. It's a longing that travels through time and space. Even now, I sing the song on repeat. Although this ending makes me sad, and maybe Song Nie this morning is sad, but I have to say that the author's ending is really deeply embedded in my mind. I have always said that this morning is one of my favorite romance novels.
This is a heart-wrenching story. It's hard to understand why my aunt was not hurt at all in the end, but she had such a miserable life this morning! She lost everything, so why wasn't she stronger this morning? It's heartbreaking.
The emotional part is well described, without being too explicit and sensual, but you can still feel the deep affection between the two, the love that blends with family affection. The paragraphs that recall my mother this morning are well interspersed. The reader reads the novel with questions and also finds the answers. The ending was indeed a bit rushed, and the age gap between Song Nie and Jinchen was not explained clearly. Sometimes they were 30, sometimes 14, and sometimes 16. Please correct any typos.

Uncle, niece, just read the first chapter. Continue
It looks like she has a split personality, but I still don't understand why my aunt chose to do this. Maybe I'm older and these things are nothing in my eyes.
Is my aunt's objection based solely on ethical considerations?
Nice background music. The grudge between my mother and the Song family seems to be more complicated this morning, and I hope this mystery can be revealed as soon as possible.
I saw this in one go. I have a bit of a different love for it, but it is very well written. I like it and look forward to the next update.
Come on, I'm here, don't let half of the clicks here belong to me.
