Name: Butterfly Mountain
Author: Confiscating the Stars

Synopsis

Be, older woman/younger man with a nine-year age gap, writer x student

Yang Jiayi and Hu Die first met in a bar.

He'd been cheated out of his money and was speaking to the manager in a meek, apologetic voice.

Hu Die appeared, grabbed him by the collar, and slurred, "Want to date me for three months? I'll give you five hundred thousand."

Only later did he find out that their first meeting hadn't really been there.

On a pitch-black, deathly quiet night, he had once saved her life without even realizing it.

And when he was finally ready to take his role as her "boyfriend" seriously, he discovered that she was dying.

Years later, Yang Jiayi had become a somewhat well-known music producer, just as she had hoped.

Wherever he went, the only thing keeping him company was the butterfly ring on his little finger, glinting faintly.

"I'm just a moth, not quite dead yet. Calling me a butterfly is really just a consolation for a life spent doing nothing. I can't fly over Butterfly Mountain. Even without Hu Die, I never could."

If this isn't your cup of tea, please stop reading in time.

Thank you so much for reading. I'm open to any reasonable criticism or suggestions.

Wishing you a happy life and prosperity :D

Blurb for "Lemon Sky":

The day my current boyfriend and I set our wedding date, I went back to my parents' house to pack my things.

As I left, I threw the birthday present he'd given me in my sophomore year of high school into the community garbage bin.

It was a tiny crystal ball, small enough to hold in one hand.

When I thought back to our first meeting, we had both been at our most miserable.

It was as if lemons had stained the whole sky, fiery clouds had spread across it, and my heartbeat had been loud enough to shake my ears.

Back then, the internet was still new. An accidentally added Penguin account, birthday wishes we missed each year, and rain pouring down overhead all came together to form my bitter, painful youth.

Later, my daughter found an old photo album and asked me, "Mom, who's the person in this picture? Why are they looking at you instead of the camera?"

By then I was thirty-five. I'd long forgotten what it felt like to fall for someone when I was young. I only remembered that it seemed as though I'd never really had him at all.

Everything in my life now seemed like the place where all my hardships had led.

And I never saw another lemon sky.

Theme: If you meet love at the end of your life, don't give up. Live beautifully until your very last day.

Lemon Sky, which I had seen in Sweet Potato a long time ago, was published. At that time, I just took a look and sighed. I saw Butterfly Mountain in the column and became interested. However, I took a closer look and saw that it was a monthly subscription. At that time, I didn't know how to purchase the monthly subscription separately and what it was, so I put it aside. Later, I came across Big Fish's return special and saw a familiar name - Butterfly Mountain. I have never read BE, and I don't like to read BE. I haven't read it since I could see the label. I accidentally added a bookshelf that day, and discovered how to purchase monthly subscription books separately, so I opened it and wanted to read it. I decided to read it after the final exam, and I finally finished it today. The dialogue between Hu Die and Yang Jiayi is very ordinary, but it also has a lot of literary and artistic flavor. Since I can't post any comments, I'll type them here and post them together. Yang Jia's secret confessions were so cryptic. In the two paragraphs mentioned by Yang Jiayi so far, he would say that it seems to be the case. He didn't get a definite answer, but he was really serious about it T^T After watching I Wearing Contact Lenses on the Train, I Want to Cry but But I Don't Orz. Even if you know you are a be, you will still be sad when you really become a be. There are so many things I want to say but cannot express. I just finished reading the whole book when I arrived at Xi'an Station. After writing this, it's so chaotic that I'm going to have insomnia tonight. Although it's not much, I really don't know what to write orz 🤗 See you next time

Two ordinary people, a life full of twists and turns, and regrets that they could not stay together longer. The two met each other's redemption when the ending was set, but it was too late and too early. It was too early that they fell in love with each other and confirmed their relationship, but it was too late that they could only spend Yang Jiayi's 19th birthday. Yang Jiayi, catch up with that butterfly in your next life. Use the ring in your hand to reach Butterfly Mountain where you cannot fly.

Yang Jiayi couldn't fly out of Butterfly Mountain, and I couldn't stop crying either

I came across the tweet on Xiaohongshu and rushed over to read it! I really like Hu Die's character and her daily life with Yang Jiayi. Thank you very much to the author.

On April 21, 2024, I happened to read "Butterfly Mountain" on pdd because I am a serious lover of BE. I flipped through the details page and found that it was to my liking. I went to watch it that night. I remember when I saw the back part, I secretly thought whether the author was lying to us. In fact, Hu Die did not die in the end, but when I saw it at the end, I did not wait for a miracle, and neither did Yang Jiayi. I cried that night. From the perspective of God, I was so sad. I can't imagine Yang Jiayi in that story. I hope you can all fly over that Butterfly Mountain in your next life.

I hope the author will take a closer look. I also came across the recommendation of a blogger on a certain book. From a certain perspective, I don't like BE very much. This book is the first BE book I have read in a few months. If nothing else, the author's content is novel and it is really easy to arouse the interest of readers. The author's writing style is really great, but I think the author lacks the most important thing in writing, emotional substitution. I feel that the author is relatively blunt about the emotional aspect of the book, especially about life and death. The book can speak, and readers can feel the author's emotions from the words. Just like Hu Die in the book, her books are very popular and her writing is great, but she never embodies her own emotions. I hope the author will get better and better and look forward to more excellent works. I also sincerely hope that the author can find the missing emotions.
