The River of Seconds

This book is an upgraded version of Return, Neither Wind nor Rain, Neither Haze nor Shine. The author has reworked the characters and their stories, and updated the plot.

Every second flows like a river, while fate is its bank. With a passion for culture and tourism, Jimo arrives in the capital at the lowest point in his life and takes the helm of Yisu Winery, seeking rebirth amid the ruins of his career. His career path is fraught with obstacles, as power struggles intertwine with clashes of human nature. He uses his expertise to overcome prejudice and stands firm against corruption. Amid the upheaval at the Gao Group, he seeks a balance between culture, tourism, and profit, creating a better way of life.

The conflict between emotion and reason is the sharpest blade fate can wield. From rivalry to understanding, from ambiguous feelings to enmity, her relationship with Gao Yihan rises and falls in the vortex of power. With Lin Yan, their relationship shifts from discord to standing side by side, yet their pure feelings become the spark that ignites tragedy. Gao Yihan turns dark due to her obsession, while Lin Yan falls because of her sincerity. Caught between the struggle of human nature, shattered feelings, and the collapse of his career, Jimo lies low in his darkest hour, concealing his grief. In the end, he takes up revenge as his torch and heads toward his next redemption...

Ultimately, Mingfan appears and lights a beacon in Jimo's life. Quietly standing by him and supporting him in secret, Mingfan becomes his life partner, his career benefactor, and his mentor.

With his career as a boat, human nature as its rudder, and emotions as its waves, every choice is a journey across the great river of fate.
