Features: Growing up in a small town in Suzhou, Zhu Wenying admires the "heavenly flight ability." Blending the ancient with the modern, her novels reveal a rebellious spirit beneath their classical facade. She examines love themes across cultures and eras with a unique perspective, subverting and deconstructing them in a distinctive style to create fresh and exquisite texts with the ability to transcend time and space. In her imaginative world, she ventures far, offering a youthful glance back at the end of the century... This is a collection of short stories and novellas by Zhu Wenying, a female writer born in the 1970s and one of the so-called "new new humans." The stories are highly contemporary in tone and written with a slightly avant-garde flair. It is said that Zhu Wenying refuses to be associated with other beautiful writers and declines to provide her photo to publishers, stating that she wants to be known as a writer, not a beauty. In an era where beauty is often valued more than talent, she retains a touch of old-fashioned stubbornness.
