In his novel The Humble Mountain, Song Zhi poured every word into depicting a selfish, shallow, vulgar, arrogant character. His bitter hatred seems to rise vividly from the page, passing through paper and ink.
Yet in all of Song Zhi's later works, readers can always find the lingering shadow of that character. Perhaps what filled those pages was not just hatred, but also a calm, quiet, complicated, fragile love.
-
Jiang Cong once told Song Zhi, "Arrogance runs in our family."
He was arrogant, mischievous, and fickle. But Song Zhi loved him, willingly letting him deceive him, becoming his lover and his Great Wall, his tireless workhorse and a bird in a cage that had clipped its own wings.
He made countless excuses for Jiang Cong's bad temper and came up with countless reasons to forgive him.
But it turned out that being a doormat never ends well.
*Song Zhi x Jiang Cong
*The blurb and the first few chapters lean toward Song Zhi's perspective, but Jiang is the one on the receiving end in the relationship. Later, Jiang pursues Song.
*I originally planned to write this as an entertainment-industry story, but couldn't keep it going, so I deleted the more than 100,000 words I'd written and switched to a new premise. My apologies to everyone who bookmarked it for the original premise.
*Thank you all for your support!
