"The south wind knows my heart's desire, and blows my dreams to the western isle."
Three months after her breakup, Meng Xizhou is still trapped in the cage called "first love, Nan Fengyi," reliving holographic memories day and night. The abrupt end of their relationship, despite neither of them having done anything seriously wrong, breaks her heart.
Her best friend holds out an expensive nanotech oral solution.
"Starbound Tech's top-tier therapy. End heartbreak overnight."
She drinks it, and gets one night's peaceful sleep.
When she wakes, everything is as it was. The pain feels even more real, and a little fox from an ancient-style fantasy helps her review the failure of her first love.
She struggles to let go, hoping for a perfect ending with "the perfect lover, Nan Fengyi," but the result is a bad ending.
If she gets another chance, can they avoid drifting apart?
[Reading Guide]
- Maybe this will be healing for people nursing a broken heart (?).
- Sci-fi meets classical poetry in a romantic collision.
- After growing as a person, the heroine powers up and embraces the "better off on her own" life.
- Lots of twists.
- The male lead isn't a cheating scumbag (covering my bases: may any scumbag who betrays sincere love swallow ten thousand needles!), but an avoidant "scumbag."
Theme: The courage to rebuild oneself
After reading it, I felt a little sad 😭
