Continuing from the 100th chapter of "Jin Ping Mei", "The yin and yang ghosts and gods are regarded as sutras, and the sounds, colors, goods, and profits are used as weft." In the first half, Ximen Qing was reincarnated as the son of Shen Yue, a wealthy family in Bianjing, named Brother Jin. Shen Yue's wife's brother, Yuan Commander, had a daughter, Sister Chang, who was Li Ping'er's descendant. She was later adopted by Master Li and renamed Yin Ping. When the Jin people captured Bianjing, Jin Ge became a beggar and suffered bad retribution, while Yin Ping became a prostitute. Later, he was deceived and hanged himself to death. The second half is about Meiyu, a girl from a thousand households in Tokyo who was envious of wealth and voluntarily became the concubine of the golden man Hamu'er. However, the eldest woman was jealous and abused her in every possible way, and she almost wanted to commit suicide. Because he learned in his dream that he was the descendant of Chunmei, and that the lady was the reincarnation of Sun Xue'e, he fasted and chanted Buddha's name, and was able to escape from his suffering. He also wrote about Pan Jinlian's reincarnation. The social scenes covered in the works are vast, ranging from the vicissitudes of family and country to the deep affection of children. The works are full of wonderful and fascinating paintings. The book also describes many majestic historical scenes, such as Liang Hongyu beating drums and fighting at Jinshan, etc., And exposes the Jin people's atrocities such as the invasion of the south and the ravage of the Central Plains.
