Features: The love faith of a man for a woman, the debut work of the father of Korean pop romance! A fleeting life like the wind, a woman fragrant as a blooming flower. In that valley where the air was thick with longing and wildflowers bloomed, he first saw her.
In this life, the greatest sorrow is being unable to love the one one loves, unable to whisper "I love you" to the one one loves, unable to caress the beloved body. But there is something even more sorrowful: sending the one one deeply loves away, to a place far from one's heart, to a distant land where there is no turning back, to the arms of another man. Yet there is something even more sorrowful—this is the most tragic love in the world, the love of leaving the one one loves behind, departing this world before them. Though he once lived for this beloved, and was willing to die for this love, he still left this world alone, leaving his beloved behind. That unfulfilled love, that love that could not continue—how regrettable it is.
Men do not cry; men only shed blood. To support his adopted sister, who was taken in by his father, he took a path with no turning back. In this life, the greatest sorrow is being unable to love the one one loves; yet there is something even more sorrowful—sending the one one deeply loves away; but there is something even more sorrowful—this is the most tragic love in the world, the love of leaving one's beloved behind and departing this world before them.
This is the most beautiful love a man and a woman can give, a love like a lyrical poem, a love as steadfast as faith. When this work was published, it moved the hearts of countless female readers, who were completely captivated by this love with no way out. In Korea, this novel has become a myth of the publishing industry, a prototype, a model of popularity. A surge of works with similar titles, protagonists, and plots emerged like mushrooms after rain, flourishing without end. Now, this rich fragrance of "man" has finally drifted over.
