Starting a 'realist' baihe novel, The Empty Ship by Niu Er Er. The main character is a very ordinary woman, 27 years old, deeply unambitious and working as a junior teacher in a preschool, quite different from my usual.

That sounds a lot more grounded/literary than usual. Are you enjoying it so far?

[douqi]

Yes! It's different but I'm quite enjoying the everyday-ness of it. There's also a slight thriller/mystery element in that Highlight for spoilers!*the protagonist witnessed a murder some years ago and it's definitely still haunting her, plus I'm picking up signs of her being a pretty unreliable narrator.*
