An independent short story series that reconstructs the life and thoughts of the eight beauties of Qinhuai in the author's eyes.
It's basically based on official history, not a random joke.
I just added a lot of my own understanding, and a few unofficial historians who were more credible and had nothing to do with the overall situation also recognized it. The official history here generally refers to more prestigious written materials, not official materials; while the unofficial history here refers to folklore.
The writing attitude is basically more serious with a touch of deep romance, that is, without violating the official history, the lives of the eight people are reconstructed based on the author's perception of the incomplete photos in history.
For the shortcomings, let's just treat history as a joke.
