Title 山水情
Alternate Title Shan Shui Qing
Summary "山水情" by Anonymous is a historical romantic novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young scholar named 衛旭霞 (Wei Xuxia) and his encounters with beautiful women, including a charming nun named 了凡 (Liaofan) and a noblewoman named 素瓊 (Su Qiong). The narrative delves into themes of love, destiny, and the intertwining of fate through poetic expressions. At the start of the narrative, the protagonist, Wei Xuxia, visits a tranquil ni temple during the Qingming Festival. He is accompanied by his cousin and looks to escape the festive crowds. In his visit, he meets Liaofan, a lovely nun who captures his attention, and they engage in playful banter. The opening chapters set the stage for the development of romantic entanglements, with Xuxia becoming enamored with Su Qiong after a chance encounter and eventually ending up in a complicated romantic situation involving both Liaofan and Su Qiong, revealing the notions of love, destiny, and social conventions that will be explored throughout the novel.
