Song of Parting

【Modern Romance + Dual Female Leads + Both Strong + Mutual Redemption + Realism + Premium Fiction + Music】

Is this a story about saving someone? Then who saved whom? Did it succeed?

A once-famous cellist spends her whole life learning to say goodbye to the world. She lives in what she believes is the least intrusive way possible—ten years, twenty years, thirty years—stubbornly clinging to the creed she set for herself in youth, hoping to live out a life without color.

"Indifference means cutting every tie between yourself and this world."

But the questions she thought she'd crossed come circling back to her—someone she has truly, deeply fallen for, someone she wants to keep even at the cost of all reason. What if such a person actually appears?

That person says: "You love the cello because you can wrap your arms around it, Song Jianqiu—but have you ever embraced someone you love?"

She meets this possibility with silence, a devastating wavering masked by rock-solid resolve.

...

Those were wilderness years, a countdown of life that drove her to drink, and at many midnights she faced her childhood self: What is right, what is wrong?

To meet the one you love and not even dare to hold them—then why come to this world at all?

"If—and I mean if—

"If my broken soul could perceive a whole love, and if you were still willing, could we—"

Her life is a reverse narrative that begins with death.
