Features: Wen Rui'an is a quirky genius in the contemporary literary circles of Hong Kong and Taiwan, with over a hundred works to his name, particularly renowned for his martial arts novels. However, the collection you are now reading is not a martial arts novel but a modern one with a unique form. Evil People, Don't Look includes twenty-three short stories, primarily depicting the various interpersonal relationships in modern Hong Kong and Taiwan society. Beneath the warm and affectionate facade, the story reveals how people deceive, betray, and act unscrupulously for profit, resorting to any means to achieve their goals. The Woman Who Coughs After Drinking collects thirty-nine short stories, focusing on women from all walks of life in Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as the men with various relationships tied to them. Through their tangled and complex entanglements, the faces and inner thoughts of characters from different social strata are vividly portrayed, much like a bizarre ukiyo-e. An Hour of Indulgence also includes twenty-three short stories, describing the diverse relationships between people in Hong Kong and Taiwan society, but with a focus not on romantic love between men and women, but on the harshness of society and the various adaptive measures people choose to survive and thrive. The protagonists in the stories range from ancient to modern figures, with intricate plots and enigmatic writing, forming eleven distinct styles, which are rare in contemporary and modern fiction. This is the "Wen Rui'an Romantic Novel Series." Named "romantic," but the "romance" here is not about love affairs but about the various interpersonal relationships under societal pressure. It depicts dark pageants, treacherous business dealings, the warmth and coldness of human nature, celebrity scandals, and fierce rivalries, all of which are thrilling to read. The author intentionally breaks away from traditional narrative methods, employing ever-changing techniques and stories that are often baffling and miraculous, leaving readers in awe.
