Features: Xue Xiaozhen, the "flower-mad" writer, presents her first long romantic masterpiece! Renowned writer Bi Feiyu, Editor-in-Chief of Reader Originals / Zhang Xiaoyang, Editor-in-Chief of Youth Digest Green Edition / Li Zhaoping, all recommend this book! I am willing to go mad for love, only to remember you when youth fades, just as you once wrote for me – "In old age, one may forget many things, but never forget longing." It's beautifully written! I often read Xue Xiaozhen's articles in newspapers and journals, and it seems she's getting stronger with each piece. But behind her words, there's always something that's a bit frightening.
— Renowned writer Bi Feiyu
Reading Xue Xiaozhen's words is like facing a gentle and composed woman, listening to her tell emotional stories of joy or sorrow, charm or temptation, slowly soaking the heart. Her pen always carries a faint fragrance, spreading a sense of Zen. Then one realizes that living poetically on earth is something we can also achieve.
— Editor-in-Chief of Reader-Originals Zhang Xiaoyang
Her works are like the Jiangnan women she is named after: gentle, elegant, and captivating, yet never losing their modern touch. In this noisy and chaotic era, Xue Xiaozhen is one of the best Chinese writers who masterfully balances tradition and modernity, dreams and reality, reason and emotion in her youthful essays and novels.
