As a local novel reflecting Hangzhou, the core of the story is both simple and complex. It is simple because the love story of the male and female protagonists takes place in Hangzhou, with characters and settings familiar to readers, and the main characters are journalists, radio program hosts, restaurant owners, police officers, etc. It is complex because this era is ever-changing, and people's emotions also change. The story incorporates urban popular elements, infuses a touch of bohemian chic, and strives to explore and utilize some characteristics of Hangzhou's humanistic geography, leisure, and fashion, such as dining in Hangzhou, Hangzhou beauties, and Hangzhou women's clothing, etc. Thus, it is also an interesting book.
