Features: Qian Haiyan's art style and character have a strange harmony and contrast—harmonious in the fresh feminine aura, humor, elegance, and playfulness in her illustrations; on the other hand, her writing is profound, sharp, and witty, like that of someone who has achieved enlightenment after reflecting on past experiences. Her comics are more avant-garde than Feng Zikai's, yet less reserved, with images and text paired intentionally with a slight displacement, leaving room for contemplation. The brushwork is simple and clean, the concept clever and unrestrained, with a touch of Zen that enlightens between naivety and sophistication. This colorful and playful collection is a scattered jewel left behind by the little thief in the mortal world. The varying shades of light purple and green bloom quietly on the soft paper, everywhere, with no intention of sitting or lying down. It makes one forget the monotony and boredom of this world. The delicate small regular script speaks of her and, with a posture like a dance, yet swirling freely. At moments of insight, there are surprises—just as fate would have it. To sit and chat with a clever and beautiful woman late at night is perhaps one of the most enviable things in the world—pleasing to the eye and heart. If not, read the little thief's books here. As if meeting a brilliant mind, hearing a skilled tongue, as if a celestial maiden comes to dye the flowers, the three thousand worlds bear witness to this joyous path with you and me—this is the time when the ten directions will tremble.
