Ten Miles of Fog
Tags
Summary
[Modern romance + premium novel + wealthy-family tycoon + deeply angsty romance + exclusive devotion + high-ranking official fiction + BE aesthetics]
In the first twenty years of Ji Jing's life, her world never had any light. Abandoned, beaten and scolded, her biological parents even tried every means to sell her for money. Being hurt again and again made Ji Jing increasingly indifferent to love.
She said she wanted someone in the future who would firmly choose her and love her. As if heaven heard her prayer, Zhao Yao appeared. The two are drawn to each other as they spend time together, drowning in each other's love. But this is destined to be a relationship without an ending; "social class" deeply blocks the affection between them. They struggle hard, but it is like trying to stop a chariot with a mantis's arm; in the end their fate is shallow, and they are separated by life and death.
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Readers who enjoy angsty romance and BE aesthetics in modern romance and are willing to accept an unhappy ending
- Those who prefer a cold heroine and a forceful hero and enjoy the emotional push-and-pull
- Readers who resonate with real-world issues such as class disparity and trauma from one's family of origin
- Readers accustomed to following characters' psychological changes layer by layer, not rushing for results
Not a good fit for
- Readers hoping for light sweet romance with no angst throughout; the book's overall tone is rather heavy
- People with low tolerance for BE endings who are prone to feeling low after reading should be cautious
- Readers who prefer fast-paced, plot-heavy stories and have limited patience for emotional buildup
Reading tips
- Read in chapter order and pay attention to details of Ji Jing's psychological changes; her restraint is key to understanding the book's emotional direction.
- When you reach the sweet passages of the two together, don't rush to turn the page; these warm fragments contrast with the later sense of loss.
- If you are emotionally sensitive to BE endings, learn about the story's tone before reading and leave yourself time to process your feelings.
- After finishing, look back at Ji Jing's self-account at the beginning and compare it with the ending to appreciate the character arc more fully.

About the author
Xing Chi is an author about whom limited public information is available. What is currently known is that the author mainly writes in the field of modern romance, with works commonly categorized as premium fiction. Two titles are included in the collection: the two-volume set BE Aesthetics: A Sour and Tear-Jerking Collection and Ten Miles of Fog. Judging from the titles and categories, Xing Chi's writing emphasizes emotional tension and atmosphere, skillfully unfolding love stories with a sour and regretful texture against urban or contemporary settings, which aligns with readers' current preference for tear-jerking "BE aesthetics" themes. Although the author's nationality, dates of birth and death, English name, and specific experiences are not found in the available materials, making a complete biography difficult to outline, the two existing works alone reveal the author's focus on emotional detail and reader empathy.
