This book tells the story of a wealthy businessman named Chen who married four women. In the eerie and mysterious Chen Mansion, several women fought overtly and covertly, all just to compete for a little favor from this man. When Songlian, a 19-year-old female student, married into the Chen Mansion, she was innocent and aloof. She was unwilling to be lonely and eager to pursue herself, but she had to be involved in the war between women. After witnessing the tragic fate of the women in the Chen family, Songlian was eventually tortured into a madman. The novel uses the story of polygamy in this compound to condense the tragic fate of women for thousands of years in delicate and gorgeous words: if a woman attaches herself to a man, she will never be able to dominate her own destiny.
