Features: In fact, everyone has their own pain; the tighter you clutch it, the faster your heart beats. Liu Dong and Ma Gang both loved Li Li. Li Li, however, only loved Ma Gang because Ma Gang's father was the Deputy Political Commissar of the military district, while Liu Dong's hometown was in the countryside. Li Li was originally supposed to marry Ma Gang, but after Li Li was gang-raped by three men in front of Ma Gang, he refused to marry her. Out of desperation, Li Li had no choice but to marry Liu Dong. Yet Liu Dong was not happy, and Li Li felt no happiness either. Although Li Li has now become a successful professional and remains charming and captivating, will the deep scar in her emotional heart fade away with the passage of time?
A good novel must possess many elements that transcend other works, and among them, a good story is essential. There are generally two views on a "good story": one is that the story itself is unique, with a highly imaginative plot; the other is that it does not rely on the plot but instead excels in creative storytelling methods. Shi Zhongshan's novels belong to the latter category—the stories may seem ordinary, but the ability to make ordinary stories brilliant is what makes an excellent novelist. — Xuesong
Shi Zhongshan's narration is very calm. In his novels, you rarely see passionate or elaborate sentences, nor are there (deliberately polished details). The entire story flows like a calm river, with emotions controlled naturally and fully. This aligns with the novelist's cool attitude toward society and people. — Hometown
The brilliance of Shi Zhongshan's novels lies in this: every reader seems to imagine a plot, but when he narrates it, there is always an "unexpected twist." — Ma Hui
Sergeant-level nurse Li Li is too beautiful, her radiance overshadowing Dr. Liu Dong's admiration. If it weren't for that rape case twenty years ago, Li Li might never have been his. But when Li Li finally becomes Liu Dong's wife, will his heart truly be as bright as his smile on the surface? This seemingly calm marriage is actually hiding (fierce undercurrents).
