Chen Yu-Chin is definitely a rising star of Taiwanese fiction, who first came into the spotlight at twenty-four years old when she won the Kadadowa Mandarin Light Novel Award. At twenty-seven, she published Young Miss Kublai, which was extremely well-received. A subsequent work, Real Tales of Taipei, which describes the lives of second-generation immigrants, further cemented her position on the cutting edge of Taiwan’s world of letters.
