Night Tide, Evening Flowers

In the late spring of the year of her coming-of-age ceremony, Yu Ruan fell for Xie Yingshen, the man who had donated his bone marrow to her. The carefully arranged music room, a yacht amid pounding waves, the shores of the vast, starry Sayram Lake, and firefly-filled Moganshan... They were all places where the two of them had tangled together. At the height of her youthful recklessness, Yu Ruan used her power to force Yu Yingshen to become her fiancé. In the late spring of her twenty-second year, Yu Ruan, now a stray dog with nowhere to turn, became Yu Yingshen’s caged songbird. As spring drew to a close, their love went on and on. Ruanruan, are you sure you want to give me up this time?
