Society boils down to three things: money, power, and sex.
Having all three is the dream of countless people. Fu Lei got them all.
He left a remote region, worked in a big city, and sat for the national and provincial civil service exams.
Fu Lei endured all kinds of hardships, while also winning the favor of beautiful women and coming into unexpected wealth.
When he returned to his hometown to help his family find their herd of horses, he ventured into the deep mountains and forests. With the help of a pack of wolves, he gained an even more unexpected surprise and a huge fortune.
Whenever danger struck, a Taoist priest would always appear to lend a hand.
With money to spare, he built a magnificent Taoist temple at the foot of White Horse Mountain in his hometown to show his gratitude to Taoism. Only then was the mystery finally revealed.
The temple drew countless visitors and rapidly boosted the surrounding tourism economy.
Though he stumbled along the way, he gained not only sex and money, but power as well.
Sadly, his eldest uncle's long-held wish for a large family full of children and grandchildren never came true.
The story is good, but it's a bit draggy. It would be better if it was more compact. The plot is interesting and the descriptions are nuanced.
A rare good book, with a beginning and an end. Good outlook on life, can there be a next one?
Good, good, good, good, good
A very interesting and good work.
Not bad, worth reading
