Features: Immersed in modern Shanghai while dreaming of the Shanghai of Zhang Ailing's era. The protagonist, Gu Jinhe, is completely immersed in the strong "Shanghai complex" due to her love for Zhang Ailing. Gu Jinhe and Pei Zijun have been in love for nearly a decade. One day, she suddenly realizes what true love is: "If there was someone who could understand you very easily, even better than you understand yourself, what would you do?" This person is Shen Cao. Shen Cao, the one who made her blush at just a glance, the one who invented the "Time God" and sent her back in time, not only allowing her to meet and understand Zhang Ailing but also revealing many astonishing truths to her. "I love Shen Cao!" This was a whisper from the depths of her heart. However, when Zhang Ailing asked her, "Would you rather be with Shen Cao or would you rather have Zijun, who is unknown to be alive or dead, return," she answered without hesitation, "I want Zijun to come back." She knew that life was above everything. In the end, she agreed to Zhang Ailing's request and destroyed the "Time God." It was all because of it that everything went wrong. It leaked the secrets of the universe, altered reality, and made everything deviate from its original path. If it weren't for the "Time God," perhaps her grandmother wouldn't have died, He Chenglong wouldn't have been dug out from the depths of her memory, her parents wouldn't have divorced, and Zijun wouldn't have suddenly disappeared! But as she destroyed the "Time God," she also destroyed her own youth, passion, desires, and innocence, as well as her love. What could be more heart-wrenching than willingly saying goodbye to the man she loved? She embraced Shen Cao, tears soaking into his coat. Years later, when the past faded like the wind, would the song of farewell for Shanghai still be so tragic? This book is the seventh in Xi Lingxue's series of romantic novels about humans and ghosts. The entire story tells of a woman who is obsessed with Zhang Ailing and travels alone to Shanghai for work. During her time there, she is pursued by a steadfast childhood friend and encounters a spiritual match in the form of a white horse prince. Due to her aloof and sensitive nature, she experiences a thrilling love story.
