Writers Lu Tianyu and his twin brother Lu Tianyi, at the request of the jade king Xia Taiping, go to "Eta" for civilizational poverty alleviation, aiming to use modern civilization to transform the primitive and improve the local living conditions. After entering the almost isolated land of Eta, the beautiful scenery, the simplicity of the people, and the custom of polyandry there inspire the writer's longing for "true love and freedom," and also give rise to and ripen a pure love story away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Through the successful use of symbols such as yaks, white foxes, wolf packs, gunfire, and rainbows, it comprehensively elaborates on the transformation of human nature, the relationship between people and people, and the relationship between people and nature.

The novel focuses on the portrayal of characters' inner thoughts, narrating with rich and evocative language throughout, showcasing the beauty of the primitive and pure, expressing the corruption of human nature by material desires, and telling the vulnerability and helplessness of Eta in the face of modern civilization.
