Synopsis

[The print edition is now available at Dangdang, Taobao, and other stores.]

[No supernatural elements.]

Anesthesiologist Lu Yan gets an emergency call late at night. On her way to the hospital, she unexpectedly encounters her high school classmate Deng Man, who died many years ago.

From that day on, one strange thing after another begins happening around her.

“Winter Solstice is the day to settle old scores and get revenge.”

The truth hidden for eight years begins to come to light, layer by layer.

[Sweet version] Jiang Chengyi returns to S City after several years away. At a class reunion, he “isn't surprised” to run into Lu Yan, the ex-girlfriend who dumped him back then.

Seeing that Lu Yan is surrounded by strange happenings, Jiang Chengyi “reluctantly” lets her stay in his mansion.

When speaking to Lu Yan, Jiang Chengyi is cold: “I'm only protecting you for now.”

When his mother calls, Jiang Chengyi is cheeky: “Mom, she's my girlfriend.”

A month later, he tells Lu Yan, “Honey, it's been eight years. How are you going to make it up to me?”

At their wedding, Jiang Chengyi sums it up: “Winter Solstice is the day you do whatever you want.”

Lu Yan: “Officer Jiang, where's your sense of decency?”

[Reader's note] Mystery-solving and romance. A sweet happy ending.

Theme: Evil never triumphs over good.

Full-Purchase Showcase

I read a bit of everything, but lean toward BG. Any book with a substantial review has been read in full. My taste is subjective. Dealbreakers: violent, coercive men; negative gender stereotypes; and golden fingers.
