Features: Two women, different searches, different mysteries, different psychological journeys, yet both drifters in the spiritual world. The author provides exquisite, profound, and delicate portrayals of women's spirits and psychology, revealing a perceptive and ruthless understanding of human existence that provokes many reflections on human nature—spiritual longing and material desires, inner anxieties and external pressures.
A female psychiatric patient, Yifeng, who is about to be discharged, suddenly disappears. She claims to be searching for what she has lost but doesn’t know what it is. Mi is a materialized woman, beautiful, cold, and enigmatic, involved in emotional relationships with several men but never discussing marriage. She goes to great lengths to get close to Yifeng’s husband, but it has nothing to do with sex, leaving people utterly baffled. Mi’s own heart is tormented by her secrets. She is confused as she seeks the truth. When, after countless twists and turns, the answer becomes clear, she plans her own death and writes her own obituary.
