In 2002, Protein Girl vividly depicted the bloody battle between urban men and women in their pursuit of love. The protagonists, Zhang Bao and "I," became objects of some admiration and others' condemnation. This book continues the sharp wit and satire of Protein Girl, telling the stories of two women, Bao Lina and Jia Jia, and presenting the various charms and dilemmas of women in love. Even the formidable Zhang Bao would succumb to their allure. Additionally, the book collects five love essays by Wang Wenhua, allowing readers to get to know him in a new light. It turns out he is not the familiar Zhang Bao we know but a well-behaved child. Whether in the novel or the essays, Wang Wenhua once again uses his keen observations and humorous pen to expose the entanglements, destruction, decoding, and transcendence in love. Why does he love her? Why doesn't he love her? The answers are finally found in this book.
