For example, "TV People" tells the story of several "TV People" who are like small people who are copied from normal people and break into private houses and companies. "Folk Tales of Our Time" tells the story of a girl who is "weirdly rational" in love. She falls in love with her male classmate, but refuses to marry him, because according to the "general trend of the world", women should "marry someone a few years older". At the same time, she makes an appointment with him for a tryst after marriage, because "if you marry a virgin, you don't need to be a virgin after marriage". As a result, when that day really comes, he can no longer get excited. "Sleep" tells the story of a married woman who has been insomnia for a whole month, but she tastes the pleasure of insomnia because "life has expanded to one third".
