Features: In the unassuming corner of Cambridge City, the dust might have accumulated over a thousand years. A seemingly ordinary building on campus could hide some long-forgotten legends. Although the British Empire was gradually declining, its former glory still made people unable to help but feel proud and arrogant. At the turn of the century in London, three Chinese girls met— one is a talented girl named "me" who was admitted to Cambridge after receiving elite education, another is a girl with unique visual abilities named Meng'er, and the last is the daughter of an Italian-Chinese mafia boss named An'an. In a year, they experienced street painting, job hunting, Cambridge, mafia kidnapping, and a thousand-mile escape filled with and, all while navigating life abroad. The entire book brims with youthful passion and the melancholy of worldly experience, with writing as effortless as flowing clouds and water. The elegance and subtlety of the East blend seamlessly with the romance and exuberance of the West, creating a harmonious and unified whole.
