Compared to adult literature, there are indeed many shortcomings in the depiction of physiological growth in teenage girls in young adult novels. In Asia, even in relatively developed children's literature in Japan, it is difficult to find works that can compete with similar adult literature.

It includes not only individual issues like budding love, naive sexuality, and rebellious youth, but also social problems such as generational gaps, single-parent families, and societal prejudices. Although the two girls (Xiahe and Ai Wumi) are from different generations, they share many similarities: family backgrounds, emotional experiences, and the circumstances after accidentally becoming pregnant from tasting forbidden fruit. Fortunately, both have received help from "spiritual ferrymen" (Qin Chuan for Xiahe, Xiahe for Ai Wumi). The story unfolds in parallel and converges at its best. Between the lines, it conveys a powerful force of warmth—warm care and gentle warnings.
