Features: A city romance novel, a business war and emotional novel, and currently the most popular online novel, Chengdu, Love Lasts Only Eight Months, was launched at the Guilin Book Fair using a performance art approach. The novel's author transported a "prop" that repeatedly appears in her novel—a traditional Chinese wooden tub—from Chengdu to Guilin. She then invited a beautiful performance artist to publicly enter a tub covered with rose petals for a bath and leisurely read Chengdu, Love Lasts Only Eight Months. Nowadays, novels about urban life have become a new fashion in mass cultural life, and cities have become a backdrop for writing and a stage for entertainment. Following Chengdu, Forget Me Tonight and Chengdu Beauty, another novel reflecting the real life of Chengdu, Chengdu, Love Lasts Only Eight Months, is filled with the real-life games of Chengdu, with an online hit rate surpassing the renowned Second Closest Contact. It is called a city romance epic, a business war and emotional novel, and a "wildly eye-catching" online novel. Author Jiang Shu analyzes in the novel why love in Chengdu or in cities is so short-lived. In her seemingly casual writing, she reveals a serious, profound, ironic, melancholic, and even crazy style, which is no wonder why readers are so enthusiastic. Perhaps in Chengdu, there is a love in a wooden tub! One that you can't escape. The story begins like this, and the story is as simple as this.
