Pure: Soul, Still and Serene (Xiaoyiren)

A novel you'll never regret reading.

Who could someone never forget?

Look at him, high above everyone else. No one is anyone else's master. Fate favors everyone, yet secretly steals away the most beautiful years of youth.

Listen: "A stranger, beautiful as jade; a gentleman, unmatched in the world." The most fitting verse seems to describe more than just the past of this lifetime. "In our next life, will you marry me?"

You lament, "Your vows weren't worth a thing."

Who said, "We will marry and never doubt each other's love"? Who said, "We'll be all right"?

Round and round, back to the starting point. Round and round, the west wind suddenly rises. In this world and the heavens, so many memories, so many thoughts.

Jade flakes drift down, pear blossoms mourn

Pale clouds, glazed sorrow

Fallen snow, departed youth

A desolate face, grief for the dead

Red candle tears, leaning by the gauze window

We talk until dawn, a dream that vanishes

Trembling, sorrowful and lost

The wind blows, the swallows return. Which homes will they return to?

Jiangnan in the scene, lovely blossoms scattered

Drowsy, sinking into sleep

Through countless turns, I chase you beyond the curtain's mist

A heart broken by longing, tears shed in tenderness

A half-lived dream, a soul forever longing for home at dusk

The one who cherishes flowers protects them

Across several layers, a thousand cups of wine

Powdered beauty, jade grown wan

Remembering old dreams, brewing tea and leaving half a cup

The pipa plays, the song ends and we part

The pear blossoms are fragrant again, but there's no turning back

Snow falls year after year, people remember and yearn

The mistakes of the past have been repaid

Beneath the moon at dusk

A broken branch rests by the water beneath the pavilion

Envious of mandarin ducks, the Changmen Rhapsody

A lifetime of joy

Wind and frost wear us down, unlike the years gone by

Sorrow upon sorrow

Return, return

Do you remember, the first time our eyes met that day?
