Wild Love

Wild Love records all kinds of absurd and abnormal love with a realistic style. Two children bound by fate and prophecy grow up together in Sibaocun, a village deep in the Wumeng mountains. They are childhood sweethearts, deeply in love, and secretly pledge themselves to each other, but are eventually separated by poverty. Each chooses a path to the city, using their looks and body to climb the social ladder. After experiencing ups and downs, they return to their hometown in old age, letting go of desire and living next to each other. These two mirror images from the bottom of society climb the social ladder in similar ways, achieving success through similar original sins, only to find at the end that all the prosperity is not as good as the initial youth. This is a love story torn apart by poverty and fate, and the entire journey of a rural woman from endurance to killing. It is also a story about how poverty crushes love, how silence accumulates into hatred, and how a woman picks up a knife when she has no way out. In the cracks of the times and fate, the two spend most of their lives answering the same question - in life, should one accept fate? — Description from novelcodex.org
