Features: Following the success of Hell in the 19th Layer and The Apartment in the Desolate Village, which sparked a wave of suspense and sold nearly 400,000 copies, Jielichu Publishing House is launching Cai Jun's new full-length novel, The Return to the Desolate Village, during the summer blockbuster season. This work continues the storyline of The Apartment in the Desolate Village while incorporating new elements such as 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 that spans history and reality. Additionally, it is reported that the television series adaptation of The Apartment in the Desolate Village will feature many celebrities and will begin filming this summer. The first half of The Return to the Desolate Village was published in Mengyuan Zeng, attracting widespread attention from readers and major media outlets. It is also known that Jielichu Publishing House will hold a nationwide signing event named "The Return to the Desolate Village with the Jade Ring" during the summer blockbuster season. At this event, readers who purchase the book will not only receive a personal autograph from Cai Jun but also a jade ring from Afghanistan. The Return to the Desolate Village tells the story of six months after the publication of The Apartment in the Desolate Village, when "I" receive a mysterious and eerie membership confirmation from the book club, as well as a distress message from Su Tianping, a survivor of the desolate village. The curse of the jade ring still follows closely. In Su Tianping's computer, "I" and Chunyu discover a breathtakingly beautiful face. Her name is Ahuan, the last queen of the ancient Liangzhu Kingdom, who claims she can only live for seven days. A few hours later, "I" inexplicably encounter a bartender named Lin You in a bar who has the same face as Ahuan. To see the beloved Xiaozhi again, "I" reluctantly believe Ahuan and put on the jade ring of the desolate village, completely ignoring the fact that it has already been six days since Su Tianping's incident. In the final 24 hours, "I" and Chunyu must return to the desolate village. Although "I's" logical reasoning seems almost perfect, the climax changes instantly.
