The eighteenth-century novel has all the elements of a well-crafted soap opera, but embedded in the story is an unsentimental critique of China's political and social system at its peak of glory, before the intrusion of the West. Therefore, literary merits aside, the novel offers a fun way to learn about premodern China.
