Finding a Place at the Edge of the Sky

▷ The official version and pirated version are very different, extremely different, you could say. More than 100,000 characters have been added, and the entire text has been revised. (The pirated version hasn't been revised!!! Not revised!!! Quietly weep…)

So, I hope everyone will support the official version! Thank you!

(PS: If the first two chapters are hard to get through, you can skip straight to Chapter Three. Thanks for reading and supporting me, everyone~)

[The day he was cheated on, Shen Yi bought a one-way ticket to Tibet.]

❶ The night he caught his boyfriend cheating, Shen Yi clutched a cold egg-stuffed flatbread and smoked in the living room all night.

❷ At dawn, he blocked every way to contact him, quit his job, and flew to Lhasa.

❸ They say Tibet can cleanse the soul, but can it cleanse someone who no longer even has a heart?

❹ At an altitude of four thousand meters, he met Nima Wangdui.

The twenty-two-year-old Tibetan young man:

would cut open his own sweater on a freezing night to cushion Shen Yi's trousers,

would take him on his motorcycle across the wilderness to gather yak dung,

and beneath the butter lamps in a temple,

would say earnestly in halting Mandarin, "Brother, you're too thin. My mother would be heartbroken if she saw you."

Shen Yi thought he had come only to flee, but step by step he fell into another kind of life:

❶ Butter tea by the stove, a starry sky over the grasslands, the deep chanting in the temple,

❷ and Nima Wangdui's breath by his ear, purer than the snow-capped mountains.

▶ [Nima Wangdui: "Today at school, I saw peach blossoms."

"They were pink, covering the whole tree."

"I stood there looking at them for a long time, thinking... thinking I wanted to bring you to see them, too."

▶ Shen Yi: "And then?"

▶ Nima Wangdui: "Then I thought,

I want to take you to see the flowers every spring from now on.

The grasslands in summer, the highland barley in autumn, the snow-capped mountains in winter...

Everything I think is beautiful, I want you to see, too."]

▶ Some places are meant to be passed through.

Some people are meant to meet and fall in love.

Romance is a secondary storyline, the road trip is the vehicle, and experiencing Tibetan life is the focus.

Heartbroken urban man × passionate, sincere Tibetan youth

Rational, restrained overworked office worker bottom × gentle, straightforward younger top

1. One-on-one romance. The bottom has an ex; back then, the bottom was the top. The Tibetan top has always been single.

2. Primarily told from the bottom's perspective.

3. A partly fictional setting where same-sex couples cannot marry.

4. The story takes place in the U-Tsang region.

5. This is an old work from before I signed a contract, started in 2024. The revisions are now complete (2026.2.2).

6. Thank you to every reader who saved the story and waited for the revisions.

Theme: Being cheated on isn't the end of the world. Find someone better and make your ex furious.
