Features: On a superficial level, this is a novel discussing gender differences: justsayit (women) vs. justdoit (men), revealing the misalignment between men and women in modern society, the misalignment in marriage, and many other contradictions. The first half of the novel approaches the core of the issue through discussions on various topics, employing a simple and descriptive style to quietly depict the rise and fall of people's emotional worlds, the cohesion and dispersion of human relationships. The latter half of the novel uses the technique of watercolor painting: clear, transparent, and rich colors sweep away the previous heavy and gloomy atmosphere, transforming the story into a light and dazzling world. The novel has a plot that unfolds subtly, allowing readers to rise above it in the end. Moreover, it differs from typical interview-based novels by touching on sensitive social topics while showcasing little-known real-life scenes and extraordinary dialogues in the story. The main character Jinzi brings one suspense after another, making readers feel as if they are immersed in the story and reluctant to put it down.
