    Summary

    Imagine a narrow alley where shopfronts with Chinese characters press close against windows displaying dresses straight from London. The air is thick with the scent of fragrant spices, fresh pastry, sharp coffee, and the sea salt slipping between scaffolded high-rises. In a small bar, where the soft glow of paper lanterns melts into curling cigarette smoke, and the beat of a shidaiqu tune hums like a heartbeat, He Xuan forgets how to breathe for the first time in his life someone has just asked him to dance.
