Features: Contemporary Chinese people are pushed to the brink by the overwhelming material tide, and the secrets hidden deep within human nature are astonishing. With unprecedented courage and the recently popular "prop-less narration" technique in Western and European literary circles, the author tells us a horrifying love story of a middle-aged writer suffering from psychological disorders. Every character in the book harbors an inextricable knot in their hearts, and while and exposing these unspoken inner knots, the author also persistently explores the underlying causes of such outcomes. Fear and conscience intertwine, and decadence coexists with love. The author battles between the extremes of human nature, interpreting the irreversible roots of human tragedy in a specific period with a brand new attitude and perspective. At the same time, the author issues a thundering call to contemporary people through negative examples: In the 21st century, we pursue better moods!
