Extended information:
The most different thing between Yi Shu’s novels and other popular novels is probably her strong female consciousness. Most of Yi Shu's heroines are women who have given up on classical romanticism and affection early on, and only focus on self-love and self-reliance. Love is questionable, and most of the men in Yi Shu's works are disappointing. Friendship - friendship between women - is pushed to the most important position by Yi Shu.
Most of her heroines have at least one female close friend, either a sister, a mother, a daughter, a classmate, a colleague, or even a stranger or love rival, who stands with her and appreciates her. Her, encourage her, help her. Here, female friendship is women’s identity, respect and love for their own gender, their emotional needs, and even their joint resistance to the unfair treatment of another gender.
