Features: The wildness of Lin Re, the greed of Li You, the eerie of Ou Wan Di, the indulgence of Ou Lian—all of these constitute the mystifying and complex real estate world centered around [Chang'an Second Construction]. And it is precisely in this chaotic environment, where mud and sand mix, that Liu San She's kindness and integrity stand out particularly. This is a novel that delves deep into social life through the lens of the construction industry and real estate. Houses, sons, and women form its fundamental key themes. The work depicts the arduous transformation of state-owned construction enterprises, as well as the remarkable rise of private real estate companies. Linked to these are the family's feuds and the lingering emotions. Using the novel's own words, this work portrays both the "[Record of Grudges and Favors]" in men's careers and the "[History of Blood and Tears]" in women's emotions.
