The Last Bloom Fades

Both are adapted from novels by Yi Shu.
Kai Dao Tu Mi (????) and The Tale of Rose (?????) explore women's lives and relationships, but they do so from slightly different angles. They share many of the themes that have made Yi Shu's novels enduringly popular. Rather than being romance novels in the conventional sense, both stories follow a woman over several years as she matures through love, disappointment, and self-discovery.
