One characteristic is innovative concepts. For example, in 'The Three - Body Problem', the idea of a three - sun system and the resulting chaotic planetary orbits is quite novel.

After rebirth, she changed the world

Sheng Jiao, who had been brought home by her biological parents but had her superpower taken away by her adopted daughter and thrown out of the base, was reborn after dying under the siege of zombies. He was reborn in a parallel universe. At this time, Sheng Jiao had not been taken away by the Ye family. She had not been framed by her adopted daughter, bullied, humiliated, and died with grievances. After her rebirth, Sheng Jiao decided to kick away her cold and heartless family and focus on being her savior. In the 13th year of the apocalypse, humans discovered a strange livestream room. There were zombies running amok in this world, but the situation was much better than theirs. The singer of the benefit performance did not commit suicide because of his brother's death. Instead, he wrote a song that had a healing effect and resisted the attack of the zombie tide. The base that killed superpowered people did not become a malignant tumor. Instead, it was completely annihilated when it was still in its infancy. The doctor who was bitten by the patient did not die with his precious healing power. He worked diligently to treat the patient and developed an antidote to resist the zombie virus. A man with a special ability who should have died of a serious illness in the early days of the apocalypse miraculously came back to life. Even the research institute that was forced to stop its research received funding from kind-hearted people and ended the apocalypse. The humans in the apocalypse were in an uproar. They wanted to find a way to end the apocalypse like the people in that world. The higher-ups of the base were ashen. Only they knew that the person who had changed the world had long been thrown into the zombie pile by them. They had destroyed hope with their own hands, and they had also seen Sheng Jiao break free from the shackles of fate and shine in the parallel universe.
