This novel is the continuation of the TV series Ruffian Hero. The reason why I wrote this novel is because of the emotional ambiguity in the ending of the TV series and the renewed turmoil of the case. It also comes from my love for a low-key, dedicated man who looks like he stepped out of the comics. I would like to dedicate this novel to my favorite Mr. Zhou Yimin.
Chen Zaitian:
I once believed that you were the only truth in my life, but in the end you used falsehood to make me the only one. He Xiaomei, this world has made too many jokes on me, are you one of them? Maybe I should re-examine my surroundings.
Wu Yingxiong:
I once divided right and wrong into opposites, and black and white disappeared in reality, mocking the truth I found in the gray area. If there really is a Creator, is the elongated shadow in the sun the Sanskrit you enlightened me with?
Chen Lin:
I stand in front of you with a strong posture. You are so close to me, but why can't I touch your heart? Chen Zaitian, besides jealousy and strength, what else can I use to face the person who is deeply rooted in your heart?
Lan Xiying:
The unprepared loss that started when I was fifteen was too raging. Intellectuality and reason became synonymous with me in the long years to come. Love was too extravagant for me to covet. I wonder if there is a kind of luck that can help me unravel the displaced past with one hand.
