Features: This book tells a story of an age-gap love. A pure, kind, and loyal girl falls in love with a successful, married man who is 30 years older than her. The girl silently waits, cherishing her love while also experiencing the harsh realities of life. Meanwhile, a sincere man overcomes societal prejudices and genuinely loves her, giving her his love unreservedly despite the pressures from society and family. This is undoubtedly a heart-wrenching love story. However, both are good people who refuse to build their happiness on the suffering of others. Thus, they waver between love and non-love, finally choosing a higher and more profound love. They no longer care about appearances; what they seek is the connection of their souls. The girl leaves—"to marry someone else, even if she doesn’t love him, even if she has to endure a loveless marriage day and night, just to give her loved one freedom and ease"—she always has a reason to keep living: to watch him from afar, to hear about his news, as long as he is safe and happy, that is her greatest joy. This is the attitude of a woman toward love. As early as God created Eve from Adam’s rib, it was destined that women would always be a part of men, and love became a woman’s lifelong pursuit. After reading this story, one can conclude: you came into this life for love, or perhaps for the pain of love. The pain of love is more joyful than all other kinds of happiness—Dryden’s famous quote. This is also the reason why people constantly chase true love.
