In the pearly light of dawn,
she sat in silence, facing the great and magnificent red dragon…

Between her fingers, the watch her brother had given her one distant spring seemed to hum with an ancient echo.
She didn’t know it yet,
but this watch — like the mountain — held a secret of the soul.

In the heart of central Switzerland, Véronique embarks on a journey that is not just a departure,
but a reconnection.
A handcrafted timepiece, its mechanism almost alive, leads her to Mount Pilatus —
a place where forgotten stories slumber, and ancient truths are whispered.

Up there, between sky and stone,
forest spirits, slumbering dragons, and Celtic memories intertwine in the breath of the wind.
And within the silence of the rock, something calls to her.

At the crossroads of Swiss myths and Chinese dragons,
between sacred archaeology and an inner quest,
she will encounter a man from the East —
one who carries a mystery as well… or perhaps a key.

A story where the past speaks to the present,
where legends become mirrors,
and where the invisible reveals what the soul no longer dared to hope for.

The literary pseudonym 金春遥 (Jīnchūnyáo) means “the golden spring in the distance.”

It reflects the spirit of the author: a poetic voice born in Europe, carried by a love born of chance and nourished by the beauty of languages, cultures, and the ocean that both separates and connects.

金春遥 is the chosen pen name to embody the voice of a European woman who carries within her a story of intertwined souls — a tale born at the crossroads of worlds, where every word becomes a bridge.
