Unmatched Beauty

Commentary on the Huainanzi, “Benjing”: “Shu” means “different.” The Story of Unusual Beauties is simply about a group of women from all walks of life living in a grand household. There are family squabbles and bustling entertainment districts, tender warmth and scheming rivalries, and of course, plenty of handsome men along the way. Note: The heroine is clever but plays the fool. She isn't an absolute beauty, and there are no melodramatic plot twists, though the story occasionally slips into familiar territory. This follows Tian Shi Jun's usual painterly style: leisurely and slow to heat up. Enter with care... My newly completed novel, The Story of Qingyu, is 960,000 words long.
