When Flowers Bloom (Revised Edition)

Flowers blossom all over the trees, some falling onto muddy ground, others onto clean verandas.

Who determines where the flowers go? Why do some people live one way, and others another?

Why must everyone in the world accept such a tyrannical fate?

Yang Xinyi, a confused university student who had suddenly lost a loved one, accidentally fell into a lake on the eve of her graduation. After a choking cough, she opened her eyes again, only to find herself transformed into Yang Xuenie, the beloved six-year-old youngest daughter of a red-brick mansion in Taichung nearly a century ago, known to all as Yukiko.

From food and clothing to furnishings and social interactions, the modern elegance of the Showa era and the prosperous grandeur of a local prominent family slowly unfolded before Yukiko like a scroll painting. In Zhizhutang, she encountered a group of women as resilient as flowers and trees: the eldest sister and her twin cousin, whose lives were decided for the family's benefit; the concubine and adopted aunt, who struggled to survive within their master-servant relationship; and Yukiko's best friend, Sakiko, a Japanese-born woman of noble lineage who dreamed of becoming a university professor. When her elder brother's erratic behavior jeopardized Zhizhutang's succession plan, Yukiko was forced to break her promise to her best friend and shoulder the responsibility of being the matriarch. As the shadow of war gradually approached, could Yukiko use her knowledge and vision from the future to forge a different path for herself and these sisters? They struggled between traditional norms and personal ideals, yet still strived to bloom within the cracks of reality.
