This story is a blend of Western fairy tales and Chinese myths, with the characters developed somewhat differently from their original forms, subverting expectations. It's enjoyable for its portrayal of a pair of older women friends who've been damaged by life and who'd rather be relaxing - but instead take up the former hero roles of their younger selves best as they can, because someone has got to do it, and it looks as though they're the only ones available. Recommended for those who enjoy folktale/fairytale subversions.
