July 11th, 1937, Shanghai. Apartment 699. At precisely 10 PM, Sheng Qingrang, a renowned lawyer, returns home from an academic discussion. The hallway light abruptly goes out.

July 11th, 2015. The same apartment. At precisely 10 PM, Zong Ying, a modern-day forensic doctor, returns home from a crime scene. The hallway light flickers.

Two time-spaces converge through this shared moment of light and shadow.

Sheng Qingrang is refined, gentle, and traditionally principled, with an inner strength that emanates tranquility.

Zong Ying is calm, decisive, and sharp in her work, possessing an almost unwavering determination.

Their first encounter: he is her “Mr. No Rush,” sheltering her with a black folding umbrella as he escorts her to the hospital. Their reunion: he is a tenant from another time, holding a rental agreement dated 1937.

Time and space intertwine as they meet in the quiet of the night. Their love, born in separate worlds, transcends the boundaries of time and space. Once kindled, it burns eternally.

A somewhat poignant love story.

With the background of 1937 Shanghai that was in the middle of a war with the Japanese, the readers tagged along the FL & ML into living their daily lives navigating between 2 different eras. Spending night time in the modern world while engaging the uncertainties of day time in the old world.

Read the tag carefully, it's a slow romance. And given the circumstances where the FL & ML were uncertain of their own well-being and future, I can understand their hesitation to start any feelings.

The... more>> novel is not for everyone. From the start, the reader will feel that there's always a hazy gray layer on every chapter, sometimes it's sad, sometimes it's exciting, sometimes it's devastating, sometimes it's calm and peaceful.

Every character was written very realistically. The author was able to show the selfishness of people accurately, the arrogance that was coming from the old money regime, the low self esteem of adults that were neglected during their childhood, and so on...

Give this novel a try, you will not regret it, you will also learn a little bit of history lesson from it :)

Spoiler

it is a happy ending ♥️
