The Golden Pavilion Dream: This book is one of the sequels to The Plum in the Golden Vase. After the decline of the Simen family, the Jin army invades southward, and the world undergoes profound changes. Only the root of human evil remains unending, and the lust for wealth and pleasure never ceases. However, good and evil always find retribution, and those who commit evil will never have a good ending—this is the main theme of The Golden Pavilion Dream. It truly captures the fickleness of the world and reveals the depths of human nature, exposing the joys, sorrows, and struggles of life in a pessimistic survival attitude. The novel's writing is sharp and vivid, making it a rare gem in the genre of erotic literature.
The Wandering Monk: A vernacular short story whose theme is related to Chapter 11 of The Joy of the Disenfranchised, titled "Cai Yunu Avoids Rain and Accidentally Encounters a Lecherous Monk." The story goes that in a temple in a southern Jiangnan region, several monks are not free from desires and are unable to shed worldly attachments. Some take the opportunity to associate with local women, while others forcibly accommodate visiting women, creating chaos and all sorts of disgrace. In the end, they reap what they sow, and the wandering monk becomes a laughingstock as a lecherous figure.
