Summary

By the time An Ruonian walked the last visitor to the door of the counseling center, dusk had settled over the city like a water-soaked gray cloth. The evening breeze carried the chill of early autumn; she instinctively pulled her knit cardigan tighter, a dry itch rising in her throat. She had heard too many stories that day—a wife's breakdown upon discovering the secret her husband had hidden in the car dashcam, a husband's grievance that his wife only ever saw what he failed to do, and a couple married twenty years who, after sitting in silence for half an hour, said in unison, "We want a divorce," their faces blank with bewilderment...

Editor's review

This novel takes a counseling center as its narrative anchor, opening with dusk, a sky like gray cloth, and clients' stories to swiftly establish a somber yet authentic professional atmosphere. The author does not rush the main plot; instead, through the moment An Ruonian sees off a client, multiple fragments of marital struggle are placed side by side—secrets on a dashcam, unnoticed sacrifices, and the silence and divorce after twenty years of marriage. These fragments unfold like puzzle pieces, letting readers first feel the emotional weight a counselor bears daily and hinting at the theme behind the title “Error”: misalignment and misunderstanding between people. The work suits readers interested in intimate relationships, marital communication, and the psychology profession; the pacing is introspective and the details are solid. While reading, one might savor each client's story as an independent slice, then observe how they echo the protagonist's own situation. Note that the book involves marital conflict and emotional stress; readers can adjust their reading pace according to their own state.
