Features: Because of a romantic idea, the young and curious Cherry came to Beijing with her boyfriend He Jiabai, starting their arduous "Beijing" life. Cherry is an urban woman who oscillates between ideals and reality. She is steadfast but not firm, idealistic yet contradictory. She pursues happiness but is unclear about what happiness truly is; she clings to love, but due to her inner conflicts, she ultimately destroys her own great love. This book is written in the first-person narrative form, portraying the different experiences of several pairs of characters, authentically depicting the struggles and vacillations of contemporary women facing love, friendship, money, material desires, and more. It tells the story of the persistence and betrayal of love in the city; the pursuit and loss of happiness; the downfall and salvation of the self. The work is close to reality, with clear distinctions between love and hatred, a tight plot, vivid characters, and a focus on psychological portrayal and the of scenes and settings.
