Its full name is "Xue Yue Mei Biography of Xiaoyi", also known as "Xue Yue Mei Biography". It is also known as "The First Wonderful Book", "The Biography of Sons and Daughters of Love" and "The Biography of the Four Heroes and Beauties". It was written in the 39th year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty. This book is worth reading for readers who are interested in ancient novels about talented men and beauties. This book is based on the anti-Japanese struggle during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It tells the story of Cen Xiu, an ordinary scholar who went through many hardships and grew into an anti-Japanese hero with both civil and military talents, wisdom and courage, and interspersed with the marriage clues of Ling Xiu, Sister Xue, Wang Yuee, and He Xiaomei. It focuses on the anti-Japanese struggle of heroes and depicts the heroic deeds of Ling Xiu, Jiang Shiqi, Liu Dian, Yin Yong, Hua Qiuying, etc. It has the characteristics of novels about talents and beauties and heroic romance novels. In the second half of the novel, the author also truly describes the pain and disasters brought to the people by the Japanese pirates intrusion in the Ming Dynasty, and vividly reflects the anti-Japanese struggle and their victory spontaneously organized by the government, army and people. This is an early literary work among Ming and Qing novels that expresses the major historical theme of the Chinese nation's resistance to foreign aggression, so its patriotic tendency should also be affirmed. The novel has many clues, many characters, vivid and fluent language, emphasis on image creation, and twists and turns of the plot. Even if I read it today, it still has profound meaning.
