Blood, a sharp sword, brilliant red spider lilies. In a single second, a figure falls away, never to be seen again.
Your departure, your being reborn, still couldn't give us a lifetime together.
I thought you were mine, and always would be...
For you, I lost everything: my prestige, my reputation, my standing... For you, I made an enemy of the whole world.
But even if I have to fight the whole world, I will take you for myself!
Among the flowers, a perilous journey; an empty dream, tears staining the heart. Better not to know Ranyue than to be Ningruo.
A coming-of-age story. Chapters 1 to 29 cover their youth, and from Chapter 30 onward they enter adulthood. The story spans eight years.
A tangled plot, focused on emotional angst. The companion novel next door, Better Not to Know Ranyue, is both emotionally and physically torturous. Read them together for the best effect.
Don't be fooled. Want to see the ending.
