"The Biography of the First Beauty" There was a scholar in Chang'an, Zhong Jingqi, who could compose poems at the age of seven. When he grew up, he read all books and was proficient in the Five Classics and hundreds of schools of thought. When he was eighteen years old, his mother and father fell ill and died one after another. After Zhong Jingqi buried his parents, he spent most of the family property, so he sent his family away, sold the house in the city, and built five small houses to keep beside his parents' graves. Only a Cangtou and an old woman were left to live by their side. Time flies, and before I know it, three years of service have been completed, and it is the thirteenth year of Tianbao's academic year. Zhong Jingqi goes to take the exam. After three exams, there is nothing to do in the apartment, so he goes out to play. After walking for a while, he comes to a small alley. After stepping into a courtyard, he sees a group of maids surrounding a beautiful woman, and he immediately falls in love with her. This girl is Miss Ge Mingxia, the daughter of Yushi Ge Tianmin. Ge Yushi only had this daughter. After his wife's death, he wanted to find a satisfactory son-in-law, but he was unable to do so. Even when the prime minister Li Linfu proposed marriage for his son, he refused. One day, Ge Yushi, the scholar He Zhizhang, the worshiper Li Taibai, and the collector Du Zimei were drinking together, cheering and drinking, and they all got very drunk. In the evening, they all mounted their horses and went back. Only Ge Taigu and Li Taibai were on the same road. They met An Lushan on the road, and the drunk Li Bai cursed An Lushan. An Lushan informed Li Linfu of the matter, and the two planned to frame Ge and Li. Ge Taigu was demoted three levels and transferred to another position. Zhong Jingqi met Feng Yuan, his former servant by chance, and with his help, he was able to meet Miss Mingxia. After becoming the top scholar in high school, he learned that Miss Ge's father had been framed, so he wrote a memorial. Unexpectedly, Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong saw it first, and expelled him from the capital and sent him to an extremely difficult and dangerous place. The book title of "Jinxiang Pavilion" is "Suiyang Zhongyi Lu", also known as "The Biography of the First Beauty", with a total of four volumes and sixteen chapters.

There is no trace of the life of the owner of Su'an, and "Jinxiang Pavilion" was probably written in the early Qing Dynasty. Taking the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty as the background, it tells the story of the talented man Zhong Jingqi and the three beauties Ge Mingxia, Lei Tianran, and Wei Biqiu, who experienced joys and sorrows and ended up getting married. The characteristic of this book is that it combines historical romance novels with novels about talented men and beautiful women. The part where Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun, Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan and others stick to Suiyang is quite moving, and the writing method is obviously influenced by some historical romance novels. The incident of Mrs. Guo comes from the notes of predecessors. The plots of An Lushan's rebellion, Zhang and Xu's defense of the city, Lei Haiqing's scolding of thieves, and Guo Ziyi's generals put an end to the rebellion in history are similar to those in "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".
