The title "Jin Pingmei" is crafted by combining one character from each of the novel's 3 female protagonists: Pan Jinlian, Li Ping'er, and Pang Chunmei. Evolved from the infamous episode of Wu Song killing his sister-in-law in "Water Margin", the novel delves into the scandalous life of Ximen Qing - a complex character embodying the roles of bureaucrat, local tyrant, and wealthy merchant. Through his family's depraved existence, the story vividly portrays the social landscape, exposing a dark underworld stretching from corrupt court officials to local thugs, rogues, eunuchs, and opportunistic hangers-on. It unveils the profound darkness and corruption of mid-Ming dynasty society with remarkable depth, earning its place as the premier novel among the "4 Great Bizarre Books" of the era.
