    This is a work of "science fiction with a reality core". It is a work that helps girls avoid lightning in both the love and workplace situations. It is a fateful attraction intertwined with lust and technology; it is a growth history of urban women full of love, marriage, original trauma...; It is a deep psychological exploration of gender. It is a social slice and panorama similar to "Dream of Red Mansions" - because I believe that truth has great power.
