Chunxiang

About This Novel
"Spring Fragrance" is a representative novel by Jin Renshun, a powerful contemporary Chinese writer. Although the inspiration and material of the novel come from the well-known Korean folk tales and the classic "The Legend of Chunhyang", it uses modern and avant-garde thinking and imagination to construct a unique world dominated by women. In Nanyuan Mansion, there is a paradise-like mansion called Champs. The girl Chunxiang has lived in Champs since she was a child. Under the protection of her mother, Mrs. Xiang, she has no worries about food and clothing, and gradually shows her talent in medicine. However, although the life in Champs is free and comfortable, it is also full of dangers. Faced with Jin Zhu's protection, Li Menglong's courtship, Byun Xuedao's forced marriage, and Mrs. Xiang's life-saving protection, Chunxiang decided to re-choose the meaning of life... The novel reconstructs the folk tale of a gifted man and a beautiful woman, and re-examines women's independent consciousness and free spirit from the perspective of modernity.
