"Haha, little pig you must also remember my glorious name, it's young master Su Heng, of the Su Family. I'll be seeing you in school, piggy."
"Kristen! I miss you so much!"
This opening section about Xia Baozhu's first night back in the Xia family home is one of the most vividly uncomfortable domestic scenes I've read. Let me just paint it for you: she's sharing a room with her sister Xia Baozhen, the parents and younger brother are in the outer room, and the DOORS AND WINDOWS AREN'T SOUNDPROOF AT ALL. So she's lying there listening to Old Xia's snoring and babies crying, unable to escape any of it. "Last night, accompanied by Old Xia's snoring and the cries of her little nephew and niece, she felt utterly hopeless." Hopeless. Not tired. Not annoyed. HOPELESS. And then the bathroom crisis hits — she needs to go at night but won't go alone to the public toilet, so she has to shake awake her sleeping sister and cling to her arm. This is such a specific, grounded detail that tells you everything about what life was like for women in this era. The fear isn't abstract; it's about walking to a communal toilet in the dark. The residential area's toilet was "passable" at least. I keep thinking about how the author uses these small environmental details to build a world without ever stopping to explain the historical context. We know it's 1963. We know about class struggle intensifying. We know about the political labels that could stick to entire families. But we also know about the snoring father and the sister who wakes up to accompany you to the bathroom. The worldbuilding works because it's in the margins, not in the exposition.

Yua wakes up from her usual nap and jumps down from the boulder. With sleep in the corners of her eyes, she yawns, "How was school, Mai-chan?"
"Can you just… close your mouth for a second and let me think?"
She halt. The doors opened and revealed a man. A nice man in a nice suit.
Nice chp

Carson took out a potion of repair and pushing away the jelly-like congealed blood that the troll oil had formed on the surface, uncovered a fragment of bone and let a drop fall onto it.
