She was a clever and versatile lady, a romantic and solitary beauty with a tragic fate, a woman criticized by many, and a red-haired beauty buried under slander and scorn. She traveled along her own path, weathering the traces of time, seemingly alluring, enchanting, and captivating, yet also resilient, compliant, and yielding. She was such a woman full of controversy yet unapologetic and silent. She was also a "wild woman" of the 1920s and 1930s, bold in love and hate. Reading this book will reveal all the reasons why she was a "wild woman." At the same time, you will discover a Lu Xiaoman, whether you knew her before or not.
