About This Novel
The historical picture of Houhonglou, the first-class brothel in Bada Hutong, before it came to an end. Human nature, soul, and values have long deviated from the track of civilization. Yuan Qingqing worked hard to manage this gorgeous and dangerous building. She has been in a brothel since she was twelve years old, climbed to the position of shopkeeper, and became a puppet manipulated by various factions. Yuan Qingqing is cruel and vicious, but there is still kindness and tenderness left. She faced the Suyun sisters who sold themselves to their father, Sai Chun who had a similar fate to her, the idiot Xi Zhuo'er, and the orphan girl Pen'er left behind by Japan's defeat, showing her complex character and twisted human nature. Faced with the manipulation of evil forces, Yuan Qingqing once again showed her scheming and extraordinary way of survival. In the unique character gallery of Houhonglou, each character has its own unique soul. Eventually, Houhonglou was closed.
