The End of a Summer Night

Blurb:

On the night of their seventh wedding anniversary,

Mo Ying lay alone in the hospital and sent Qin Ye a message: "Let's get divorced."

Qin Ye didn't reply.

At that moment, he was in the same hospital, keeping another sick young woman company.

Later, Qin Ye begged everyone he could think of to tell him where Mo Ying's grave was.

No one told him.

At seventeen, Qin Ye would carry Mo Ying on his back and run across mountains to get her to the hospital.

He ran through the bitterly cold wind, sweat and tears streaming together down his forehead.

The boy's despair and sorrow burned hot. Back then, all he prayed for was that his A Ying wouldn't die.

Later, at the end of the mountain road, twenty-nine-year-old Qin Ye looked back.

He couldn't see the A Ying from back then. He could only make out his own seventeen-year-old self.

Seventeen-year-old Qin Ye had red eyes.

He said he would rather have died on that mountain road, carrying A Ying on his back.

A regretful pursuit of his wife, but he can't win her back. The heroine dies.

The heroine has a congenital illness. She doesn't die just to make the hero regret his choices. The author simply wanted to write about a girl who lives vibrantly despite having a limited lifespan.

The romance is inspired by numerous real-life cases.

The final passage of the blurb shows two versions of the same person gazing at each other. It's not a unique trope.

A bunch of well-worn tropes, but I really want to write this.

The heroine is clearheaded and independent, not blinded by love. She shines even without romance.

The novel is short, just over a hundred thousand words.

Theme: Lost love cannot be recovered. Learn to cherish what you have while you still have it.
