Old Dreams
Tags
Summary
Lin Jiarui has an "uncle" only four years his senior—Lin Yi.
They grew up together; he saw Lin Yi as family, as his closest friend, as the dream left unfinished in his youth.
But good times never last. When the truth of the previous generation's grievances is revealed, Lin Yi begins to retaliate against the Lin family with everything he has—and Lin Jiarui becomes a pawn in his game.
In one stroke, the two become enemies, and what is done cannot be undone.
Ten years later, Lin Yi returns home in glory and says with a smile, "Xiao Rui, let's forget the past. Let's get to know each other all over again."
Lin Jiarui smiles too, but the smile never reaches his eyes.
He has heard that a meeting can dissolve old grudges with a smile, but he has never believed that two people who hate each other can ever start over...

About the author
Kun Yilou is an author with limited publicly available information; details such as nationality, dates of birth and death, and English name remain unclear. Two of the author's works are included in the library: Mr. Ji and Old Dreams, commonly categorized as youth literature and social fiction. Judging from the existing works, the writing tends to revolve around youthful emotions and social reality, combining delicate depictions of personal feelings with attention to real-life circumstances, and forming a thematic orientation at the intersection of youth literature and social fiction. Due to limited public information, no further reliable details about the author's life, writing career, or influence are available; readers may come to know the narrative style and areas of concern through these two works.
