In My Dreams, I Didn't Know I Was a Guest (Republican Era)

Better to be a dog in a peaceful age than a person in times of chaos. In an era rife with terror, every semblance of stability becomes a calamity, and eternity is nothing but an impossible wish. When desire has been pared down to nothing but survival, why not drink today while there's wine, before an unknowable tomorrow arrives?

Identity and status are nothing more than tickets to a life of excess. Before the wheels of history, they are as tiny as ants. Everything they pass through inevitably becomes smoke and clouds, blown away by the wind and scattered. So they live in fear, and so they would rather manufacture eternity themselves.

Nie Yuanzheng, who cannot find where his heart belongs, and Shen Qingming, who cannot understand what love is: there may be no right or wrong in this tangled relationship. But the moment they broke a taboo, an invisible line drawn by a special era, they were doomed to a fate from which there was no return. In an era set against a backdrop of tragedy, whenever another dawn is about to break, let me put on my mask and hide the last remnants of truth. Through this cold, endless winter, we were ultimately powerless to transform into butterflies. My love, forgive me for burying you in the earth. There, no one will ever covet you. If you can live to see spring, don't forget to tell me what the flowers look like.
