Lou Yuqing's "July 7th, Sunny Day" is a masterpiece of sibling-torture romance.
I'd heard so much about it, but avoided it for over a decade. Last year, I finally recklessly decided to check it out.
My impression after watching it can be summed up in four words: It truly lives up to its reputation!
I was miserable for a whole week, a whole week!
I was really...
Ugh, this is so painful, so cruel, it's killing me...
Much later, I suddenly wanted to write a transmigration novel, and I wanted to write it according to my own ideas, switching the positions of the brother and sister.
You don't want me? Fine, then I don't want you either!
You could say that the entire book actually begins with the older brother's story.
I want him to be "punished," not to forgive him just because he says sorry.
In "Drama Queen", Wei Yang and Chen Guang are not biological siblings, so when he regrets it, there is still room for reconciliation. However, unfortunately, I have taken back this "room for reconciliation". Perhaps my views on relationships are still very naive. I just feel that you left first, and once you left, you shouldn't think about going back.
So even though Chenguang later cried and admitted his mistake to Weiyang, begging her to come back to him, she still chose to refuse.
I listened to Hsu Hui-hsin's "July 7th, Sunny Day" countless times while writing this book.
When the line "July 7th, sunny, suddenly it started snowing heavily. I dared not open my eyes, hoping it was just my imagination. I stood on the edge of the earth watching the snow cover the street you came from" played, my mind kept replaying the past of Chen Guangweiyang.
Their names should have been a pair, representing the dawn before the end, symbolizing mutual support and companionship, embodying the blessings of both sets of parents for their children.
In the storyline, Wei Yang was very insecure when she was first adopted by the Jing family. The person she trusted most was her handsome older brother, and he reciprocated with the same level of trust.
Before the age of 16, the most important people in Jing Weiyang's heart were her brother first, and then her parents.
She thought they would always be this close, that they would grow up together, that he would always be there for her, and that even if they both found other partners, they would still be the most important people in each other's lives.
She never imagined that one day her beautiful dream would be shattered by her own brother, and that she would lose her dearest brother overnight.
She cried, made a scene, begged, and pursued him, but each time she received increasingly cold treatment, until Chenguang chose to go abroad.
For 18-year-old Chenguang, going abroad was the best solution; he wouldn't have to face Weiyang anymore.
That period was the most painful time for Weiyang. The pain of having her beloved person torn from her life was like being skinned alive; she was in excruciating pain. But to avoid worrying her parents, she learned to pretend, using a smile to feign indifference.
When the now-grown-up, spirited Jing Chenguang returned to China with his girlfriend and saw the girl who had smiled at him again, he realized that time had not made him forget her.
He never expected that the little girl who used to cling to him and act spoiled would leave so resolutely.
...
As for the ending of the older brother, it wasn't like this at the beginning. I originally wanted it to be even more tragic, but I thought better of it. He had already suffered enough. He could only live with memories for the rest of his life.
That concludes all the content of "Drama Queen". Thank you again to all the lovely people who have accompanied me along the way. If it weren't for you, I probably would have given up halfway through writing and wouldn't have been able to persevere.
This is also my first completed contemporary romance novel. Well, I'm really, really bad at contemporary romance novels. Updating every day was killing me. Fortunately, it finally came to a successful conclusion. I hope the next one will go even better and that I can bring more stories to everyone.
After typing these words, I can finally shout them out—
It's finally finished!!! Hooray! ヽ(°▽°)ノ?
