“Each chapter is a standalone story. Just open one and start reading.”
“An episodic novel, so there’s no need to start from the beginning. Every chapter is a complete little story.”
“Each chapter stands on its own. Read this one today, another tomorrow. No need to keep up.”
Chen Sui graduated from an agricultural university but couldn’t find a job.
One day, as she squatted in a cornfield, she heard the crops calling for help.

Then she discovered that people got better, too.
While the whole world was telling her to “get a proper job”
