Features: This book depicts the various unconventional lives of a group of modern Chinese wealthy women and male prostitutes. Aishan, Mi, Zhou Jie, and other women with imbalanced families and troubled marriages seek emotional solace by secretly hiring male prostitutes to take revenge on their partners and find personal equilibrium, becoming the "clients" of a group of male prostitutes like Bing and Sen. Bing, Sen, and their fellow male prostitutes are young provincial youths dreaming of striking it rich. Due to their low education and lack of skills, they repeatedly fail to find jobs. After applying to a company, they are hired as "public relations gentlemen" due to their good looks and tall build, only to be deceived into working as dancers at a club. From then on, they either unwillingly or voluntarily embark on a life of flesh trade.
The author uses delicate and elegant brushwork to boldly expose a hidden, dark, and ugly corner of modern society. With profound analysis, the novel delves into the real, complex, sickening, extravagant, distorted, and painful lives and inner struggles of modern male entertainers and wealthy, idle women. It brings unseen things into view and unheard voices to the fore. The novel mercilessly critiques the dirty and twisted aspects of life, revealing the hidden anxieties, helplessness, decadence, and guilt beneath the surface. Through bold, serious, and meticulous scene descriptions, readers are left to witness the tears and reflections behind the debauchery.
