Features: During the Ming Dynasty, Lin Yiruo, a flamboyant gentleman known for creating perfumes exclusively for beautiful women, had a peculiar habit. Before grinding the scents, he would ask the women to slightly remove their silk robes, revealing their shoulders, so he could observe their skin tone and inhale their body fragrance. Many women had to endure this to obtain his divine powders. However, his true purpose was to find a girl with a graceful curve from her neck to her shoulder to marry. When he finally found this curve, he discovered that the girl was a natural blind woman. This book is Simen Dagon's follow-up to You Say You're Sensitive Everywhere, another of his heart-stirring works. It is narrated from the perspective of a ghost waiting for reincarnation, describing the emotional entanglements between Lin Yiruo, the blind woman Lian Yi, and her sister Lan Xin Yue in their past and future lives. The book features a bizarre and eerie plot, exquisite and concise prose, leaving readers deeply moved and unable to put it down.
