Women Who Couldn't Keep Their Virtue in Old Age

Ji Xiaofu + Zhou Zhiruo + Fang* (Fang is Abbess Miejue’s family name) + Ding Minjun = the Emei Sect in the book

Ji Li + Zhou Xiya + Fang Zhe + Ding Ding = the Emei Sect in the modern era

Old Ji + Zhou Cao + Miejue + Ding Hua = the perfect foursome

The modern Emei Sect’s first motto: Wear someone else’s shoes, walk your own path, and let everyone else go looking for you! (So this is not a wuxia fanfic.)

The second motto: Since we came to college with nothing, we might as well leave with nothing!

(What even is a boyfriend? You don’t bring one into the world, and you can’t take one with you when you die. Just a passing cloud.)

You’re probably dizzy by now, wondering what any of this has to do with anything. Is the author messing with me?

Don’t rush, don’t rush. Let me pick up my clappers and set the rhythm. Here we go!

This story follows four college roommates through their senior year. Their days are full of petty squabbles and chattering, with one taking the stage after another or all four jumping in together. There’s warmth and romance, cold wars and sulking, friendship by the bucketload, and love that takes its sweet time.

The four old maids, none of whom ever had a proper relationship in college, decide to preserve their “purity” right through graduation. But the Old Man Under the Moon insists that society is more harmonious when men and women are together, and foists four upright, walking male animals on them.

When love really does come along, what can they do? They’ll just have to accept that their “golden years” have come to an end!
