Features: She, rebellious and cold by nature, clashes with most people. She, gentle and kind, sensitive, doubts the rules of the world. The two of them exist in each other's fantasies, like intertwined vines, complex and intricate. Glass Fields—A teenage girl's diary of heart growth, recording the innocence and sadness, beauty and cruelty of growing up; a novel about growth, pursuit, freedom, dreams, and human nature, vividly reflecting the aesthetic and rebellious mindset of teenagers. In Canada, the orchid is youthful and sensitive, yearning for love, yet burned to the bone by indifferent adults. The Chinese girl, Misaki Miki, lives in another world. Compared to the orchid, she is severely lacking in some aspects but possesses everything the orchid yearns for. The parts of the narrative told by the two narrators overlap, with a time difference of six months. After the death of her Canadian friend, the orchid returns to China, only to encounter Misaki Miki, who has the same face and the same name as her friend but a completely different life. Everything seems to be the beginning of a wonderful story about friendship, love, and the courage to start over, but how, when the narrator Misaki Miki begins the story, the orchid has already lost her mind and has no hope of turning the screws back to normal. Thus, the new story unfolds between a strong girl who wants to firmly guard the love she already has and a mentally unstable girl with no love to protect.
