Also known as The Flower's Shadow Behind the Curtain, written by the Hermit of Four Bridges in the Qing Dynasty
In the late Northern Song, the wealthy Nangong Ji spent his life greedy for money and women, committing countless sins. He died at the age of thirty-three.
His mansion once teemed with wives and concubines, and his fortune was vast, but in the blink of an eye it all vanished. His family was scattered and left to endure endless hardship.
The classic The Retribution of Three Lifetimes, also known as The Flower's Shadow Behind the Curtain, tells of reincarnation across three lifetimes and how good and evil are ultimately repaid.
Written in accessible vernacular, this book vividly recounts the ups and downs of a life in the mortal world, exploring sin, love, and reincarnation.
