    Neither book features a female protagonist who works in the city and doesn't go to the countryside. The first, set in the 1950s, has a female protagonist who is reborn and seeks revenge before moving her whole family to Northeast China, and includes a classic farm setting and a spatial dimension. The second, set in the 1960s, features a kitchen, a daily check-in system, and a spatial dimension; some initially thought it was a "free ride" story, but those who persevere will find it's a tale of two people supporting each other. Neither book involves fighting against extreme characters, and both are later turned into national projects.
