Description
When I was ten, I fell from a tree and hit my head. When I woke up, the world around me had changed. I could see people’s emotions in the form of numbers and colours—pink for love, red for anger, green for awkwardness, blue for sorrow, yellow for desire… I met Yan Kongshan the summer after college entrance exams on Green Plum Island. Mysterious and handsome, with a tinge of melancholy, he was the ideal man of every woman on the island. And mine. I wanted him to turn pink for me, but one day, he suddenly turned yellow. Despite that, he seemed ever so nonchalant when facing me. Love is like lemon soda water. Sour and sweet, filled with energy. You never know how a person’s heart beats for you, hidden in its cage beneath their flesh.

My Thoughts on Green Plum Island
"Green Plum Island" is a gentle, heartwarming story that completely charmed me. It’s a romance with a touch of the supernatural, a dash of comedy, and a whole lot of sweetness. Following Yu Mian's journey as he navigates first love on a picturesque island was an absolute delight.
First Impressions
From the beginning, I was drawn in by the unique premise: a young man with synesthesia (he sees emotions as colors) falling for an older, seemingly straight bookstore owner. The island setting itself felt like a character, adding a layer of warmth and tranquility to the story. I was immediately invested in Yu Mian's pursuit of Yan Kongshan, even if I knew there might be some bumps along the road.
What Works Well
The characters are definitely the heart of this novel. Yu Mian is an incredibly endearing protagonist. His earnestness and unwavering dedication to Yan Kongshan are truly captivating. I also appreciated the well-developed side characters, like the sassy niece, the wise grandpa, and the independent great aunt. They added depth and humor to the story, making Green Plum Island feel like a real community. The slow-burn romance was also a major draw for me. Watching Yan Kongshan slowly open up to Yu Mian's affection was incredibly satisfying. The writing style is also worth noting. The author has a knack for creating vivid imagery and evoking emotions, making the reading experience truly immersive.
Areas of Concern
While I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, I can see how some readers might find the pace a bit slow. The plot is definitely more focused on character development and relationship dynamics than action or suspense. Also, Yan Kongshan's initial reluctance and past relationships may not appeal to all readers.

Just be prepared for a slow-burn romance and a whole lot of fluffy goodness.
