This book is very interesting! It tells the story of four beauties in ancient China. The author combines history and legend to make the story particularly vivid. I like the story of Xi Shi the most. She went to Wu State for the country and helped Yue State to destroy Wu State. She was very brave. The author also writes very well, with rich details, which made me feel as if I had really seen those stories. I think this book is worth reading.
It's a pity that although beauty is beautiful, her beauty is miserable.
Playing through history while joking, highlighting four beauties in troubled times, asking who is in charge of ups and downs, women should not be underestimated
It is a very interesting book with a hint of rigor among the ridicule.
