The story begins with a river. A raft of garbage floats on the river, carrying an unsigned suicide note. The note is vague, as if revealing a confession from a demon. If you pick up this sorrowful letter and read even a single line, you will fall into the isolated world of the demon——“Mr. Xin”——a strange space with no beginning and no end. It is the upstream of the river, in the river valley, there lies a lonely little town, filled with fragrant golden canna lilies and orchids, along with an outstanding gardener, a notorious sweet girl, a genius youth who fell in love with a surgical knife, and a cleaner who always hides in the shadows. The entire novel employs a dazzling technique, shifting perspectives to layer by layer unravel the enigmatic gardener—Mr. Xin.
