Yu Sen and I had fought every three days for half a century small arguments, big arguments, the kind of fights neighbors could probably hear through the walls. We raised three kids, all grown now, but none of them could stand the chaos at home for long. One by one, they all moved away. This divorce isn’t some impulsive tantrum of mine. I’ve thought it through. But the people around us don’t understand. They say, "You’re nearly eighty. What’s the point in breaking up now? Just endure…-

Shining like the stars
Everyone in the neighborhood told me the same thing: “You’re in your seventies now. Don’t get a divorce. Just put up with him until the end.” -
As I was about to be swapped and taken away, my thoughts screamed: [Real Mom, please wake up! If you don’t, we won’t see each other for eighteen years!] -

Epilogue
Two years swept by. Our daughter obtained her trial medicine at last. She placed it in my trembling hands. "Mom, give this to Dad. Don’t dismiss it again. If you won’t do it for him, do it for me." I swallowed my doubts. But when she was gone, I kept doing as I had always done building him a new memory. "Do you remember?" I said, voice light as I knitted, weaving stories. "You and Yulan studied together once. A single sweet potato, you split in halves. One bite hers, one bite yours." I…-

The Prisoner of Time Chapter 9
Years later, life moved as if sleepwalking. One weekend, our daughter returned home. Bright and determined, she had gone into geriatric medical research. Alzheimer’s was one of her chosen studies. Her mentor, an expert in the field, had told her new drug trials were beginning. "Mom, when I get access to the trial, Dad will be one of the first patients," she promised, eyes fierce. That day, she placed a framed wedding portrait of Shen Weilin and Zhao Yulan in our living room. Their youth was…-

The Prisoner of Time Chapter 8
Later, the truth revealed. My mother had drugged the soup. She had summoned Yan Ming, hoping to force him into a trap with me, to seal our futures together. But fate twisted. Yan Ming never came. It was Shen Weilin who walked through that door. So the scandal was born. I was on the floor, wrapped in shame, when my mother dragged me before Madam Shen to beg forgiveness. "Please, we seek no restitution. I will take my daughter and leave the Shen household." Madam Shen pressed her temples,…-

The Prisoner of Time Chapter 7
In a haze of panic, I hatched a reckless plan. Only one way to kill Yan Ming’s longing completely. I would elope with him. If I left with him, then perhaps sun could return to sun, moon to moon, and wild grass could surrender itself to the wilderness again. That night, storm clouds gathered, thunder grumbling from the heavens. I tidied Shen Weilin’s books one last time, hands shaking with final duty. He sat by the window, for once not reading, simply watching me with unreadable eyes.…-

The Prisoner of Time Chapter 6
The last thing I heard was Shen Weilin’s calm, steady voice: "Ying, don’t be afraid." The men dragged us into a rickety shack on the edge of the fields and threw me roughly to the ground, slamming the door. Darkness smothered the space no windows, no cracks, no escape. Shen Weilin quickly shifted closer, his voice steady, though I could feel his pulse racing. "Are you hurt?" I shook my head. "Don’t be afraid," he said firmly, placing himself beside me, close enough that I could feel the…-

The Prisoner of Time Chapter 5
My vision blurred, tears soaking the thin paper. Outside, I heard his voice: "Ying, can you bring me something?" I quickly wiped my cheeks, stepped out, and answered with a practiced calm. He glanced at me eyes faraway, perhaps unaware of their own depth. Then, suddenly, he murmured a line I thought lost forever: "Do you want to see my flowers? They’ve bloomed beautifully today." Twenty-five years. Twenty-five years he had used that same sentence whenever my sadness overtook me. My…-
