Zhong Xiaoyang's most ambitious work - rewriting a Cangsang legend that reflects reality through love and death in Hong Kong at the end of the century.

Story──
The story begins with the passing of Mrs. Huang, a jewellery magnate, in 1982. This was the year that Margaret Thatcher visited Beijing, marking the beginning of changes in Hong Kong.
Middle school teacher Yu Yiping receives a call from his aunt, Yu Zhen, wife of wealthy businessman Huang Jingyue, whom he hasn't seen in several years. This calls into question the complex relationships between him, his cousin Bao Zuan, the Huang family's eldest daughter Jin Zuan, his adopted son Jing Yao, and a young man of ambiguous status, Cheng Han, which gradually changes his fate.
Unable to resist Yu-chen's invitation, Yi-ping goes to Taiping Mountain to tutor the young girl Bao-zhuan, and is drawn into the hidden family disputes in the Huang family's vast courtyard. At the same time, the family's jewelry business begins to show signs of trouble. The changes in Hong Kong-British relations after 1982 cast an uneasy shadow over the entangled human nature.
Yiping secretly develops feelings for Jinzuan, but due to a misunderstanding, he resolves not to set foot in the Huang family again. Meanwhile, Baozuan, following a family crisis, leaves with her mother, Yu Zhenyuan, to study abroad. As the late 1980s and the 1990s begin, the apocalyptic atmosphere forces people to navigate the ups and downs of relationships and disregard the lives of others in the pursuit of financial gain. Yiping wanders and loses himself in a world that doesn't belong to him. As madness and chaos loom, he discovers true love. But can they truly start over?
"If there were no regrets in life, how boring it would be. The same goes for novels." - Internationally renowned director Wong Kar-wai leads the recommendation. More praise and recommendations -
Recommended by Zhu Tianxin, Yu Wenzheng, Li Weijing, Li Tonghao, Chen Yuhang, Huang Nianxin, Professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Mei Jialing, Chair of the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at National Taiwan University, Xu Wenwei, Chair of the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at National Dong Hwa University, Yang Zhao, Critic, Ma Jiahui, Host, Zhang Dachun, Zhang Jiayu, Yang Jiaxian, Liu Zijie, and Celebrity Recommendations: "Zhong Xiaoyang's talent and boldness are truly astonishing and admirable." — Zhu Tianxin (author)

"The un-legendary 'Legacy' is even more legendary than the 'Legend of Legacy' twenty-two years ago. The wealth of the wealthy, the rise to wealth, kidnapping and murder, and incest between siblings are all transformed into an urban allegory of 'watch him build a mansion, watch him entertain guests, watch his mansion collapse'. Only Zhong Xiaoyang could do that." - Huang Nianxin (Professor of Chinese Department, University of Hong Kong)

"Legacy hangs like a shadow of the past, floating in the scattered mansions atop the hills before Hong Kong's return to China. Gloomy, calculating, and brooding. Zhong Xiaoyang says this world is merely a reflection of another. And her novels are precisely this kind of mirrored existence. Smooth and delicate, like the lost art of calligraphy, polishing out a mortal's dharma. A disqualified upper class." — Zhang Jiayu (author)
