Features: The new work "Chronicles of Lovelessness" by 28-year-old author Xiao Yi has sold half of its copies since its release by Wanjuan Publishing House. The book boldly features an "Ad for Seeking a Partner," openly searching for Mr. Right for the beautiful author! The 180,000-word "Chronicles of Lovelessness" is actually a book written specifically for urban singles. Just like the line on the cover—"In this restless era, how dare we speak of love"—it is an earnest sigh from contemporary youth, especially those who wander alone. "At the time, I immediately decided to publish it after reading the manuscript because it might resonate with this group of people. It is a pure emotional story set in the city, with two men and two women as the main characters. April and Geda are the central threads of the story. They all want to hide, hiding their backgrounds, their experiences, or their emotions. Their interactions are like walking on thin ice, only wanting to show their dignified and clean front, carefully turning away to avoid revealing a "back riddled with scars." This story has the typical urban love ending—falling in love and then immediately leaving. If you don’t want to lose, you can still retreat gracefully. In the end, there is only one choice. The most wonderful love is out of reach, especially in "this restless era, how dare we speak of love."
