Features: Many of the major plots in this book are abstracted, structured, and evolved based on the search, research, and selection of historical materials. This article focuses on the touching story between the talented scholar Tang Bohu from Jiangnan and more than ten beautiful women. Their interactions, ranging from close to distant, deep to shallow, even with love and affection, led to the completion of a painting titled "Scholaresses Playing the Flute Under the Moonlight." The painting underwent several revisions, from the capital to Nanchang, ultimately elevating it from a fine work to a masterpiece. In the critical moment before leaving Ning Wang Fu, he painted a portrait of the virtuous concubine Lou Aizhen. During the life-or-death struggle of hunting down Ning Wang's rebellious party, he painted a portrait of Qiu Xiang with a sense of farewell, revealing the image of a serious, meticulous, and highly dedicated artist.
