About “Ernü Yingxiong Zhuan”

Ernü Yingxiong Zhuan is a Chinese novel in 40 chapters first printed in 1878 during the late Qing dynasty. Written by Yanbei Xianren, the pen name of Wen Kang, a Manchu from an Eight Banner family, the story follows He Yufeng, also known as "Thirteenth Sister." She seeks revenge for her father, who died in prison due to persecution by a high official. He Yufeng rescues Ms. Zhang and a heroic young scholar, An Ji, from cannibals. When An Ji becomes a high official, he marries both Ms. Zhang and He Yufeng. With a new emperor on the throne, her father receives justice. The novel emphasizes Confucian virtues such as loyalty, piety, and righteousness, but its resolution relies on luck or fate. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
