Features: This book contains over 100 new poems and numerous beautiful photos of Xu Ruyun. It delves into love and desire, with both joy and sorrow, even including details about Xu Ruyun's emotions that she has always kept private. Through the words in the book, readers can explore her jealousy, her passion. The price of happiness comes from the pain of sacrifice—so can I choose a happiness without pain? A love without hatred? A sorrow without tears? Xu Ruyun writes in her poem "Happiness Comes from the Depths of the Valley." The illustrated poetry collection "The Price of Happiness at This Moment," includes over 100 poems by Xu Ruyun, revealing her inner world of love, hatred, passion, and jealousy. For Xu Ruyun, happiness and pain are relative—the more joyful, the more pain it often contains. This is her second book, neither about her love life nor gossip from the entertainment industry. Yet, Xu Ruyun's poems make those who know her feel as if they are meeting her for the first time! Passionate, bold, and sensual—she says, "These are all inner feelings of the moment; they cannot be lied about." Xu Ruyun once mentioned that writing poems was an accidental inspiration, combined with her sensitive nature toward trivial matters of life. Words became her outlet for expression. Therefore, while the book includes lines like "Please don't say any more lies to me," "You waste my love so recklessly," and "Your love game, I," it also features passages such as "My heart is actually as fragile as a dandelion, and you, like a sudden gust of wind, can easily uproot me." However, she only says, "These are all written just for myself." Xu Ruyun's poetry collection presents entirely different emotional stories, leaving readers with a "shocking sensation of blood seeping through the skin" upon finishing.
