Features: A sentimental little B, a 22-year-old girl, encounters a middle-aged man named Dog during her first experience with love. She embarks on a heart-wrenching but failed love story, transforming into a woman with a past and scars. She becomes trapped in a quagmire where love and sex cannot coexist, seeking the key to oblivion in the romantic escapades with numerous boyfriends.
A rational Mirra, fully dedicated to her journalistic work with high expectations for self-actualization, gravely discovers the game rules of a male-dominated society, suffering numerous setbacks in her growth process. The dual self of an urban intellectual woman—sentimental and rational—who is she at her core?
Over a decade-long span in the novel, it explores the interpretation of a fantasy-obsessed girl at the end of the 20th century. Ultimately, she chooses a shocking lifestyle to escape the traps of daily life. It is a story about growth and rebellion, self-creation and self-destruction, being cherished and being abused, moderation and extremity. It reflects the complexities of a woman's self, desires, innocence, loneliness, extremity, fragility, and strength—both as an exaggeratedly violent self and as a warm, kind, tearful self. B's ideal is finally realized through the love of all the men around her, making her life a masterpiece of performance art.
