Features: Xi Lingxue · Novel Series "Human-Ghost Love" No. 7. In every woman's heart, there are also two men, aren't there? One is her confidant, and the other is her soulmate. Marrying the confidant leaves the heart empty, as if it will never echo; marrying the soulmate makes her lose her voice, forever living in uncertainty. What you gain, you will lose. Love and ideals—once you choose, they are bound to be wrong. What is called a "mistaken love" is merely the fault and missed chance of love.
Set in modern Shanghai, she dreams of Shanghai in the era of Eileen Chang. Gu Jinhe, driven by her love for Eileen Chang, immerses herself completely in the thick "Shanghai complex." Gu Jinhe and Pei Zijun have been in love for nearly a decade. One day, she suddenly realizes what true love she truly desires: "If there was someone who could understand you effortlessly, even better than you understand yourself, how would you feel?" That person is Shen Cao. The one who made her blush at the mere sight of him, the one who invented the "Time God" and sent her back in time. Not only did she meet and understand Eileen Chang, but she also discovered many astonishing truths through Shen Cao.
"I love Shen Cao!" These words were a whisper from the depths of her heart. Yet, when Eileen Chang asked her, "Would you rather be with Shen Cao or have Zijun, who is lost to the world, return," she answered without hesitation: "I want Zijun to come back." She knew that life was above all else. Finally, she agreed to Eileen Chang's request and destroyed the "Time God." For all the misfortunes stemmed from it. It revealed the secrets of the heavens, altered reality, and caused everything to deviate from its original path.
If it weren't for the "Time God," perhaps her grandmother wouldn't have died, He Chenglong wouldn't have been dug out from the depths of her memory, her parents wouldn't have divorced, and Zijun wouldn't have suddenly disappeared! But as she destroyed the "Time God," she also destroyed her own youth, passion, desire, and innocence—and her love. What could be more heart-wrenching than willingly saying goodbye to the man she loved? She held Shen Cao tightly, tears soaking into his coat.
Years later, when the past fades like the wind, will the song of farewell for Shanghai still be so tragic?
