Features: Returning to the Desolate Village, the curse of the Jade Ring still lingers. Is it the resurrection of the queen's soul, or the clash of dual personalities? Perhaps the devil and the angel share the same vessel. Can love become an excuse for selfishness, even at the cost of life? A near-perfect mystery faces human doubt, with the climax changing instantly. After the success of The 19th Floor of Hell and The Desolate Village Apartment, which sparked a wave of suspense and sold nearly 400,000 copies, Jielu Publishing proudly presents Cai Jun's new novel, The Desolate Village Returns. This work continues the storyline of The Desolate Village Apartment while incorporating new elements like symbolic exploration and psychoanalysis. The characters' relationships are intricate, and the plot twists and turns. In the mysterious and suspenseful world of the "desolate village," love becomes an eternal theme connecting history and reality.
Additionally, the television series adaptation of The Desolate Village Apartment will feature many celebrities and is set to begin filming this summer. The first half of The Desolate Village Returns was published in Mengyuan Zeng, attracting widespread attention from readers and major media outlets. It is reported that Jielu Publishing will also hold a nationwide signing event named "The Jade Ring and the Desolate Village Returns" this summer. At the event, readers who purchase the book will not only receive a personal autograph from Cai Jun but also a white jade ring from Afghanistan.
The Desolate Village Returns tells the story six months after the publication of The Desolate Village Apartment. "I" receives a strange fan club RSVP and a distress message from Su Tianping, a survivor of the desolate village. The curse of the Jade Ring still follows. In Su Tianping's computer, "I" and Chunyu discover a breathtakingly beautiful face. Her name is Ah Huan, the last queen of the ancient Liangzhu Kingdom, who claims she can only live for seven days. Hours later, "I" unexpectedly meets a bartender named Lin You in a bar, who shares the same face as Ah Huan. To see the beloved Xiaozhi again, "I" reluctantly believes Ah Huan and puts on the Jade Ring of the Desolate Village, ignoring the fact that six days have already passed since Su Tianping's incident. In the final 24 hours, "I" and Chunyu must return to the desolate village. Despite "I's" seemingly flawless logical reasoning, the climax changes instantly.
