Features: In a dream, the calendar pages turned swiftly, the world flowed endlessly, without permanence. Still in the dream, she thought, when she opened her eyes, she wouldn’t know what new story would unfold. Years later, when Xiao Fei recalled these past events, she often asked herself, could there really be such love in this world? Beauty Remains is like love—it may have come from thin air, yet it is intricately woven. Here, "beauty" refers to the physical attractiveness of a woman, while "remains" signifies the elevation of true, good, and beautiful in human nature. Beauty Remains is nostalgic, ethereal, and vibrant. Sixteen years ago, in a spring full of cherry blossoms, a mad and secret conspiracy separated a pair of half-sisters, sending them down different life paths. Sixteen years later, the sisters were forced to reunite and plunged into a whirlpool of passion. Beauty Remains is adapted from the film of the same name by Chinese-American director Juan. The adapters, Sang Yi and Liu Weibing, are rising stars in China’s contemporary literary scene. Sang Yi gained attention with his grand and majestic Always Heading East, while Liu Weibing’s Born in the 1970s and Youth Drifting North further demonstrated his exceptional writing prowess. In the film, director Juan narrated a story of ethereal and fashionable love. In this book, the adapters focus on reflections on life, adding rare depth and weariness to this ethereal and soul-crushing emotion.
