The Jade Table: A Letter Encounter

Originally titled The Long Road

In early summer of 2010, Song Xun and Zhen Zhi broke up. Heartbroken, Song Xun left S City. For the next nine years, she lived in gloom. Her only regret before she died was that she had not taken better care of the only relationship she had ever had.

When she regained consciousness, she found herself back in 2009, on a train headed to find Zhen Zhi. Looking at the ticket to S City she had found in her backpack, she made up her mind: no matter what, this time she would do everything she could to make the relationship work.

But history repeated itself once more. This time, however, there was someone else by her side, a woman who had stayed with her for nine years. How would the gears of fate turn now?

When we are young, we think love should last forever. We never imagine that when something ends, it is over. Even if we get a second chance, two people who are not right for each other still cannot stay together forever. Everything in this world has its causes and consequences, and all things have a beginning. Only the rise and fall of love cannot be traced to a clear source, let alone its twists and turns summed up in a few words.

This is a realistic story, written in a grounded style, about two ordinary people. It is slow-paced and healing.

The journey is angsty, though just how angsty is a matter of opinion. Read it and decide for yourself. The ending is happy.
