Evening Dew on the Crape Myrtle

That night, the evening mist faded from the lonely maple grove. The moon sank behind the empty mountains, and nothing could be done. Silence was the sorrow of two people facing one another without a word; parting meant footsteps that never ceased.

If, in that moment, he had chosen to stop for her, to stay by her side, would their fates have turned out differently?

Ten years passed, the world changed beyond recognition. In Kangcheng, the Lu, Yan, Jiang, and Fu families stood as four powers, their surface calm concealing turbulent undercurrents. After losing her family, she became independent and resolute. Meanwhile, the cutthroat world of business made him shrewd and cold. When they meet again, will they even recognize each other?

The ups and downs of business, one scheme after another, family grudges, tangled love and hate, consuming desire, and the intoxicating lure of power: when the wheel of fate turns once more and their destined bond becomes entangled again, they return to where it all began. They gaze upon the world’s splendor, only to find it was nothing but a dream...

When they wake, maple leaves blaze crimson and evening glory flowers bloom. They take each other’s hands and grow old together.
