Features: I Love Women as I Love Philosophy is a philosophical novel or a love-themed philosophical novel. It is not the traditional or modern novel form you often see, but rather adopts a more tension-filled and modern reading-friendly style. Written by a modern aesthetics scholar, the book contains many fresh and incisive ideas, as well as rich and complex emotional experiences. It can be said that I Love Women as I Love Philosophy is an organic fusion of profound thoughts and complex emotions. The male protagonist, Ou Yade, is a university teacher and a modern vagabond, as well as someone deeply interested in philosophy. He has a quirky personality, sharp and obsessive thoughts. Both (sensitive) and (loves speculation), he is equally fond of women and ideas, though he prefers women more, which often leads to humorous situations. He has also written a book called The Garden in Silence, exploring nature, thought, and love. He is a contradictory and fragmented character. The female protagonist was originally a smart university student named Gu Xiaowei. She is mysterious, brave, kind, open, and self-respecting. I Love Women as I Love Philosophy meticulously details the entire process of their love story: they first meet in Beijing, then move to the south, and shuttle between the two cities. They fall deeply in love, live together, and eventually separate. The book tells the rise, fall, and separation of the love and desire between the male and female protagonists, all while infused with a humorous yet melancholic tone. Initially, the male protagonist is completely interested in Gu Xiaowei based on her sensuality and physical attributes. However, as time passes and their relationship evolves, the emotional foundation undergoes a magical transformation, becoming increasingly spiritual and imbued with a touch of aestheticism.
