Every person carries their own unique scent—so do love and fate.

This novel is a mysterious tale where scent takes center stage. A mysterious sorceress using poison magic threads through the entire story; love and destiny emit an eerie aroma; and for everyone involved, living becomes a cruel adventure.

Song Ke, an artist hired to paint portraits of the dead, arrives in Tang Town, only to find that people begin dying one after another. Behind the string of terrifying events, a strange woman appears and vanishes like a shadow—yet Song Ke falls passionately in love with her. Tang Town is drawn into a web of fate: many die from venomous spells, and others are tormented by illness, suffering a fate worse than death.

After surviving life and death on the battlefield, the burly warrior You Wuqiang returns to Tang Town, only to be targeted by the mysterious woman's apprentice, whose unrequited love turns deadly—she decides to kill him with a poison curse.

Where will Tang Town's fate lead? Faced with the threat of death, what kind of complex humanity will its people reveal? <<less

Attention!! Actually, Book 1 of Floating Life has 3 extra volumes, namely:... more>>

1. Extra: Prequel-Tree Yaokai,

2. Extra: Water Festival, and

3. Extra: Wangchuan.

But Hellowyellow, as the translator, got a special edition entitled Floating Life: A Prequel—Fulong, which contains all 3 extra volumes from the first book of the Floating Life series plus new chapters written by the author. This special edition consists of 70 chapters + a 1-chapter appendix, for a total of 71 chapters.

Based on this, Hellowyellow, as the translator, decided not to translate the 3 extra volumes from the first book of Floating Life and replaced it with a special edition of Floating Life: A Prequel—Fulong with book contents that are certainly more interesting than just an extra volume, where the special edition becomes a separate, independent book. <<less

— I translated this novel as a tribute to the amazing novelist “Qiong Yao” by Hellowyellow.... more>>

In 1986, the novel was adapted into a Taiwanese romantic drama called Many Enchanting Nights. The drama was directed by Liu Lili and also starred famous Hong Kong actress Liu Xue Hua, Taiwanese actor Chin Han, and Lee Tien Chu.

Hellowyellow comment about the story: 5-10 out of 100 people must have experienced something like this. Maybe everyone who has experienced it has almost the same story framework, even though not all the details are the same… When old wounds are almost healed by time, life gives a test by sending acid rain on the wounds, which ultimately destroys faith and belief… When the body can no longer withstand the torture, the heart becomes cold and dead, hopes and dreams are destroyed by the cruelty of reality… Then, where should this self go?? To whom should this heart complain? And to whom is this hope anchored? —- Cruel?? regret? sad? hate?? ... Sigh, but life is always like that. <<less

“Waiting for Someone,” Café. First book edition: April 2004, revised edition: January 22, 2010.... more>>

Movie adaptation released on August 15, 2014 (in Taiwan), as a Taiwanese romantic comedy film based on the novel of the name “Café. Waiting.

Hellowyellow comment: I think this is a very refreshing teenage story where the wind of romance blows gently, producing first love without us realizing it. This story reminds me of Barbra Streisand feat. Bryan Adams’s song entitled “I Finally Found Someone.”

“It started over coffee....We started out as friends..It’s funny how from simple things...the best things begin...” <<less

[In fact, when I first heard my own name, I had a bad premonition. Fortunately, I didn’t encounter Shido Masayoshi or Akechi Goro.]

[But when I discovered that the high school I was going to attend was called Teitan High School, I knew I was in trouble.]

[I thought I had successfully avoided the traitor, but I didn’t expect that I couldn’t escape the god of death either.]
