"Happy Enemies" has a total of twenty-four short stories, most of which are stories about the love, hatred and hatred between men and women. This book was widely circulated during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Later, it was published many times under the titles of "The Retribution of Greed", "The Miracle of Joy", "The Mirror of Beauty", "Three Continuations of Modern and Ancient Wonders", "Four Continuations of Modern and Ancient Wonders", etc. Because this book contains content that violates ethics, especially a lot of descriptions of sexual behavior, it is always listed on the list of banned novels issued after Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. Perhaps this is the reason why the book was published under different names again and again.
Reader comments
This book very realistically depicts the emotional entanglement between men and women, which reminded me of my own emotional experience. Sometimes, we are just that pair of happy enemies, obviously in love but hurting each other. The stories and characters in the book are very vivid, which made me feel the complexity and subtlety of love. However, some of the descriptions in the book are indeed a bit bold and may not be suitable for everyone to read.
