BUTTERFLY TEARS TP (30 Oct Release)

It is said that love can survive anything. But can it trump death¸ deception¸ toxicity and privation? In four stories¸ BUTTERFLY TEARS delivers four different takes on love and loss. From supernatural romance to impossible relationships¸ Fang Yili revisits Chinese myths and stories in her own way to create a rich and emotional depiction of classic Chinese tales beyond gender¸ society or condition. The first story¸ 'Tragic romance'¸ is inspired from the classic Chinese legend 'Butterfly lovers'. Zhu Yingtai is the only girl in a nine children family. But she can't accept that women aren't allowed to study in college. She decides to attend anyway¸ posing as a man. There¸ she meets Liang Shanbo and falls in love with him. But Zhu has to return home and reveal herself as a woman. Liang travels to find Zhu¸ but unfortunately¸ their love can't exist in this life. Will it happen in Death? In 'Butterfly Tears'¸ a butterfly falls in love with a human. But he doesn't see her for who she is. Still¸ she knows in her heart that they are destined to be together¸ even though she'll die before him. As she transitioned to the next life¸ she meets Madame Meng¸ the latter gives her a bowl of a very special soup. Then she waits for the love of her life to cross the Dark Huangquan road. Will they find each other in the next life? In 'Lover'¸ Xiao Lang is a warrior and Dragon whisperer. But he mourns the loss of his lover¸ Nong Yu¸ bound by a thousand-year curse. Xiao Lang has waited for centuries to be reunited with his bride. So¸ when the opportunity finally comes¸ is it a dream sent by the evil Queen Mother or reality? Finally¸ 'Mr Hua'¸ analyzes the impact of fate on feelings. Can those from previous lives passed on to the next? Can love transcend gender¸ space and time?
