Partial Solar Eclispe

In 2018, “Afternoon Rooftop” topped the bestseller list of the year, earning the author, Xue Jing, who was only 21 at the time, invitations from the Writers’ Association, media interviews, and IP adaptations, as well as a guaranteed place at Ji University’s postgraduate program. With his high IQ and handsome appearance, he was hailed by readers as the “little Hu Shi of Jicheng.” In subsequent years, at every reader meeting, when asked about the motivation for his writing, Xue Jing would always laugh mockingly and tell a joke. He would thank his ex-girlfriend for not marrying him when he was down and out, as it was thanks to that that he had achieved his current success. Little did he expect that when they met again, the materialistic and gold-digging woman he had spoken of would be wearing a headscarf and driving a broken electric tricycle. She was racing through the fields with two piglets.
