The Wind Passed Without a Trace

In Liaonan, southern Henan, the mountains and rivers are gentle and the people are cold. Su Zhiyou, a township civil servant, is stuck in a barren and empty marriage, and is deeply involved in a taboo entanglement with her best friend's husband. Guilt eats my heart, I am timid and silent. Tang Xingye, an outdoor team leader who is open and enthusiastic and loves hiking in the mountains, has been criticized for his personal affairs and has been rumored and stigmatized. Wen Jingxian, who is deeply involved in wedding planning, is surrounded by speculations and prejudices, which gradually crush her bottom line and self-control. The false scandals fabricated by the world finally become a real fetter. Xia Zhining, an emotional blogger with tens of thousands of fans, is accustomed to analyzing the rights and wrongs of marriage and love, and guiding people's hearts. She prides herself on being transparent and sober. But she has seen through thousands of love tricks, but not her own life. She has been trapped in a false loving marriage, and has been completely unaware of the double betrayal of her husband and her best friend of ten years. Liu Cui, a single mother, drives through the mountains and fields of Tatenan day and night. She relies on her car to make a living at the bottom, and sees all the fake romance and selfish calculations in the circle. She silently observes all the secrets and absurdities, and is the only outsider who understands the entire truth. The peaceful ones perish secretly, the magnanimous ones take the blame, the innocent ones are forced to break boundaries, and the sober ones are trapped in a scam. The warm water of hot springs cannot wash away people's prejudices, and the breeze in the mountains seems to have left no trace, but rumors can be engraved in the bones, betrayal can leave scars, and loneliness can make mistakes. The novel focuses on the plight of women in rural towns, describing the failure of marriages, the stigma of being single, bullying in circles, breakups with besties, and struggles at the bottom. A group of women break away from the definition of the world and complete self-salvation and rebirth amidst the pull, fragmentation and tribulation of the secular world. The wind passing through the mountains and rivers seems to leave no trace, but the ups and downs of life have scars, and there are also blessings.
