    These books depict forced love, a love so intense it's almost like imprisoning someone with a golden lock. Duan Yelin, upon first seeing Xu Hang, wanted to lock him up—a classic case of keeping a mistress in a golden cage—and in fact, he did just that. By force, he was a robber; by forbearance and indifference, he was the prey. Xu Hang was unwilling, but he wanted to live; he had so much to do, so he finally entered Xiaotongguan. A long and arduous struggle ensued. For four years, Xu Hang remained like a freshly brewed medicine, its aroma faintly wafting, but only after drinking it could one know whether it was poison or antidote. Much later, Duan Yelin realized that what he had locked up was not a cool, proud golden sparrow, but a cold, sharp golden hairpin.
