She didn’t reply anymore, mischievously giving him a smile before turning around and walking ahead.
Before meeting you, I never believed in reincarnation. But now, I believe.
In my past life, I must have loved you, hurt you, owed you, disappointed you.
Because, I don’t believe that one lifetime is enough to love a person so much,
it must, absolutely must be
a yearning that followed through from the previous lifetime
Am I right?
He Ying Ze.
She tread ahead, taking big steps. Just silently saying his name in her mind, brings a feeling of sweetness and sourness. Afterwards, she heard him call out to her from behind: “Luo Wei.”
She turned around to ask, “What?”
All along she had been walking with her head down, so she was surprised when she realized, spring has silently arrived. All of the peach blossoms in the nearby parks and along the streets had all bloomed. The flower petals drifted to the ground, wordlessly paving a carpet of pastel color. In the distance was a watercolor painting with a dilluted blue backdrop, even the forest-like buildings were washed in a sky blue color. She heard the ocean’s waves playing a distant song, which turned into the steady rhythm of a beating heart. The ocean breeze stirred her dress, also swayed the branches. His face was veiled behind the falling peach blossoms, the petals also landing on his shoulders.
When the wind stopped, she could finally see him clearly.
He was quietly standing under a peach tree, head raised as he looked upwards, not even minding the flower petals that had landed on his clothing. He just stood there, hand pointing towards branches overhead.
At this moment, the wind had already left, the fragrance permeated through every corner of the street.
He looked over at her through the flowers, a smile in his eyes, “Wei-er, look, all the flowers bloomed.”
Luo Wei and Xiao Ying parted ways after meeting briefly in their childhood, but this person became engraved into Luo Wei’s heart ever since, even if Luo Wei didn’t know the reason herself.
When they meet again, Luo Wei is a budding jewelry designer, but he had already become He Ying Ze, someone who stood high above the crowds. Luo Wei was confused, in her wandering gradually understanding her own feelings which had taken root, but reality caused her to make her decision to gradually distance herself from the far and unreachable He Ying Ze. But the estrangement and coldness that He Ying Ze deliberately shows her still hurts Luo Wei despite her telling herself not to care about him. Just when Luo Wei is prepared to cut herself from everything pertaining to He Ying Ze, an unexpected incident causes He Ying Ze to tightly hold onto Luo Wei’s hand.
This is the continuation of 月度花落 沧海花开, Yin Ze and Luo Wei’s reincarnations. lol their names are practically the same so you know who is who. I can be delusional and say 谢修臣 is 傅臣之。
When I first heard that JZYZ was going to write a continuation, I was so excited. Then when I saw that it was already published and that it’s a modern setting, I got a little iffy because it’s quite a jump in genre, which is why I was never really able to stomach time travel stories. Should really read it as a new story, not with “sequel” in mind. Not sure what persuaded me to go and read it, but turned out it is another good one!! It takes place in a fictional island city called Gong Zhou, which is supposed to be Luo Shui after thousands and thousands of years, and whatever happened in Sea of Flowers is now just a myth people tell tourists. The story starts out with pretty similar storyline as Sea of Flowers, but modern setting. Again, He Yin Ze is someone way out of Luo Wei’s league, but they leave a strong mark on each other since childhood, and this time around there’s no lifespan troubles because they are both humans haha!! This one is a happy ending, I’m so happy for this piece of fan-service from the author. The big hole in my chest from Yue Du is all healed up now!!!
Thanks for intro, I thought this is just another modern book by JZYZ, didn’t know it’s a sequel… for a moment I thought I have to start reading from scratch until you said to treat as a new story. I have read JZYZ modern story setting, yet to read her ancient ones..
@Wisteria9bloom2 Yes, this one is related to Sea of Flowers, but it can stand on it’s own. It’ll just feel more special to you if you read Sea of Flowers first then you get to compare the characters because their personality kind of carry over… I started out reading her ancient ones, both are very heartbreaking, especially Helplessness (奈何). If you happen to read Sea of Flowers (月都花落沧海花开) be sure to read this afterwards! I have a feeling her Rhapsody of Summer Dream is going to be pretty good to so I’m going to hop over there now.
There is no audiobook for this book yet, I heard that 阿手 was going to read it, but she dropped it because she doesn’t have time. I hope somebody picks it up soon! If 云天河 is the male voice, then I would be so happy because he played Yin Ze in Sea of Flowers.
Raini, her “Rhapsody of Summer Dream” is good but very long, 3 books and filled with lots of classical music stuff…give “思念成城” a try, I love it.
Raini, thank you for introducing this book eventhough the audiobook is not ready yet. 月都花落沧海花开 was kind of sad and since this is the sequel with happy ending, I will patiently wait for the audiobook to be produced.
@wisteria
Summer Rhapsody is also really good! I’m about 1/3 in right now. I don’t like the main guy’s voice though!!! He sounds old and he has a weird accent lol. My spoiled ear is getting me on the wrong ship. I’ll try Missing Becomes a City after Odin’s Blessing maybe. It’s a one-voice reader but I’ll take that over reading it in original language, it’s too much effort lol.
@minanina
This book is pretty much fan-service lol! But it’s a really good piece of fan-service. I think the author felt bad for breaking so many hearts but there’s no way she’s going to re-write the ending for SOF hence she wrote RITM. I love her!!! She is a stepmother with mercy haha
I’m eagerly waiting for the audiobook too so I can re-read it. Will post it here once I hear news about it. Hate chasing unfinished audiobooks though, so I’ll probably wait until it’s all finished and my memory on the book starts to blur.
This is a book JZYZ wrote for fans who wanted a HE in “月度花落， 沧海花开”. The modern story just pales compared to “月度..” with none of the characters as likeable and Luo Wei is a gullible gal, not as feisty and cute as her previous life. Maybe JZYZ can consider writing another “番外” for “月度..”
