Whispers in the Mist

Blurb 1:

In Shu Xia's youth, there was someone she liked very much.

Sadly, by the time that chapter of her life came to an end, nothing had come of it.

After starting work, she wrote several BE novels online, each one a heartbreaking regret.

Once she finished writing, she seemed to find some peace with the lingering regret in her heart.

What she never expected was to become popular by accident.

After her unexpected rise to fame, countless readers wept over her tragic love stories, and even film and television companies took notice of her.

Shu Xia was on edge. More than anything, she feared that he would see this story.

Because so much of the book was real, and so many of those things had actually happened.

Panicked and flustered, she finally decided to post a farewell message on Weibo:

[It's all in the past. I won't be using this account anymore. Maybe we'll meet again someday.]

But that was a lie. She couldn't move on at all.

It was just an excuse to keep the attention from snowballing.

Before leaving Weibo, she saw a message from a film company in her inbox, but only glanced at it.

Then, three months later, something happened to her family, and in desperate need of money, she suddenly remembered that message.

Blurb 2:

The person in charge loved Shu Xia's book. She prepared meticulously, determined to stay faithful to the original, until just before filming, when her boss called her in.

The boss had one instruction: "You can make it, but change the ending."

The person in charge was baffled. "Change it how?"

Zhou Huairang tapped his fingers on the desk, his voice calm. "Change it to an HE."

Blurb 3:

The day Shu Xia met him was outdoors, and she happened to run into an old friend she hadn't seen in years.

She looked them over again and again, then exclaimed in delight, "You two are together? Xia Xia, why didn't you tell me you made it happen?"

Shu Xia: "..." Please stop talking.

/Roses never spoke, silently bringing her unrequited love to an end.

/She never imagined that one day, when spring returned, a story meant to end in BE would finally find its HE after all those years.
