Features: Jin Wenqi, who is married, meets He Xiaozhu, an unmarried woman, and falls in love with her. The intermingling of their spirits and bodies makes them feel that only each other is the companion of their life and soul. However, Jin Wenqi's ties force him into a dilemma, and in the end, he chooses suicide. While the author depicts the vivid lives and sensual pleasures of the characters in the book, he focuses on the soul-searching in the midst of desire torment, feeling uneasy about actions that defy traditional concepts. It can be said that this novel is a moral self-examination about the love experiences of several married men.
