About This Novel
On the 19th day of the sixth lunar month in the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China (1938), a covered carriage came running on the official road leading to Qingyan Temple in Beizhen. The handlebar waved the whip in his hand and kept shouting at the big green horse driving. At the other end of the carriage, a handsome girl of seventeen or eighteen years old was sitting, and behind the carriage, followed closely by a bay-red horse. The man on the horse is in his thirties, wearing silk and satin, with eagle eyes and a hooked nose. He has a haircut with a pot helmet and is carrying a box of cannons. He looks very proud of himself. This man is Liu Wang, the gunner of Taohua Tuniu Jiahuoyuan in the southernmost part of Beizhen. The Niu family is second to none in the local area, and it is true: "When we arrived in Liao and Henan, everyone's surname was Niu; the palaces were filled with gold, and the wealth was as high as that of princes." The carriage was galloping forward, and the curtain of the carriage was opened by a delicate hand, and then a beautiful face was revealed.
