The manuscript contains five urban women-themed novellas written by Coubaini in recent years. The five novels are set in Lijing Garden Community, and tell the living conditions of 30-year-old women living here in the form of a unit drama. The five seemingly independent stories are intertwined with each other's characters and stories, forming an organic whole. They are "lactobacilli girls", small and huge, weak and beneficial. They may be flower shop clerks, aquarium mermaids, piano teachers, book editors... They carry different scars deep in their hearts, doing small things that are beneficial to society, but no one cares about them when they fall into the difficulties and confusion of life. With the mutual help of female groups, the Lactobacillus girls embarked on the road of self-understanding and self-reconciliation. From a female piano teacher trapped in a third-party emotional whirlpool, to a mother suffering from the pain of losing a child, to a roommate girl living in her sister's nightmare, through journeys of spiritual healing, they found the way for Lactobacillus girls to survive and live in the city: being small is good, being weak is also good, everyone must find their own light. Coubaini pays attention to the 30+ women who are working hard to live in the fast-paced and stressful city. The storyline is touching, the writing is healing and delicate, and it has the power of spiritual healing.

"The Landscape of My Life" selects a total of 11 novels by Coubaini. These novels explore themes such as love, growth, intimacy, and death. Each novel contains the author's desire and exploration for life awareness. Each character tries to ask questions about life. Even if they fail to get a satisfactory answer, they have not given up hope in life. The maverick boy who kills Matt, the smiling monkey killer who cannot escape the shadow of his childhood, the fugitive who longs to be captured, the woman who is cynical about love, the middle-aged people who always want to jump out of the horizon of daily life, the sisters with tense relationships... Behind all the weirdness, anger, crying, and accusations, it is just because they want to call for love, they long for respect, companionship and care. The author does not want to tell you a beautiful story, she just wants to use these words to gently embrace every injured heart and tell them: "It doesn't matter, everything is fine."
