The Fragrance of the Hemerocallis

At seventeen, Tang Qingwei followed love to the countryside, becoming an educated youth in the remote county of Wuqi.

She had no idea that when she impulsively fell in love and walked into the mountains, her descendants would need the sharpest minds to find their way out.

But what if her descendants didn't have the sharpest minds?

At thirty-nine, Li Fuxiao pinned all her hopes for the future on her only daughter, Mu Xuan.

Mu Xuan was bright and clever, but her heart wasn't in her studies. After failing the college entrance exam three times, she finally got into an ordinary university at Li Fuxiao's insistence.

For Li Fuxiao, that was enough. It was worth it.

At last, she could proudly hold up the admission letter and slap it down in front of Tang Qingwei.

But her hysterical behavior only drove Mu Xuan to rebel.

The rift between the three generations of mothers and daughters was not healed until Mu Xuan had a daughter of her own, Zhang Youyou.

Four generations of mothers and daughters, all with different surnames, yet closer than anyone else in the world.

With their gentle, uplifting strength, they supported their family and the generations to come, always providing a safety net, and together they composed a moving story.
