Beneath the Jade Horizons
Taihan is a young man haunted by the ghosts of his past. Born into a world ravaged by war, he has known nothing but struggle and sacrifice, his life shaped by the violence that tore his family apart. As the son of the sun, he carries the weight of his heritage, his body forged from the clay and fire of a homeland in ruin. In the aftermath of the Second Sino-Japanese War, Taihan finds himself trapped in a life of poverty to support his ailing father and family. His dreams of a better future have been reduced to mere survival. But Taihan's world shifts when he meets the enigmatic Bella, a woman whose beauty and mystery captivate him. As their relationship deepens, he finds himself torn between his love for Bella and his loyalty to his wife, Qianqian, a woman he once cherished above all else. Bella's promises of a new life in America, free from the constraints of their bleak existence, prove too tempting to resist.
Loved this novel so much. The story was sad and I felt bad for QianQian at times (and also Bella tbh). Really captured the pain of family separation with beautiful writing and incredible character arcs.
Amazing book! Came here from TikTok and was not disappointed. Loved the premise of the novel and absolutely adored Qianqian. Book does an amazing job of capturing the different voices and emotions of the characters. Definitely worth a read!

wait this story is literally so good?? i didn't expect it at all but i really liked all the ways the characters were developed, especially the reveal of isabelle's true nature at the end. the plot twist was simply perfection. also i felt so bad for the female mc?? i think the way u wrote the male mc was so good n he was also so complex
Love love love! Really hit on all those notes on family separation, abuse, trust, betrayal... adored the novel but not sure how I felt about my name being the same as my least favorite character loll
