Passion Heaven

by 籽月

Shu Ya-wang is a 28 years-old landscape architect who is born into a military family. When she was 16 years old, Yawang’s father asked her to take care of 10 years-old Xia Shu.

Xia Shu had experienced death during his childhood. He stayed by the body of his dead mother for the whole night. This caused Xia Shu to become withdrawn (emotionally/mentally?) from the rest of the world. Over time, the warm-hearted Ya-wang slowly got through to Xia Shu.

Ya-wang’s childhood good friend Tang Xiao-tian got enlisted into the army after high school, and she later at the university got to know Qu Wei-ran a classmate who eventually turned into a foe. From then on, the lives of Ya-wang, Xia Shu and Tang Xiao-tian, three of them changed dramatically.

this is the first chinese novel i've ever read.

probably one of the best novel i've read as the story intensifies everytime i read it and it saddens me because it has a tragic ending.

First Chinese novel that I read. Read it back in July mainly because Joo Won's new movie was based on this book. He was playing the antagonist and I wanted to know more about his character prior to watching the movie. This book was dark and tragic and it was difficult to read.

This book made me fall in love, cry out loud, dance like I'm crazy, breakdown and hate everything...So I'm giving it a 5!
