The Wanhxiang Building in Qingdu has already closed.
Yet, in places untouched by war, brothels continue to operate normally, welcoming all comers.
Whether trading in literary or martial patronage, they are all customers, and Wanhxiang Building welcomes them with open arms.
In troubled times, the women in the brothels are all people with hard fates, engaged in the trade of flesh. Even the side of the Vassal Kings, after occupying the city, did not make things difficult for these unfortunate women, paying their dues and enjoying the pleasures within constraints, stealing moments of joy amidst busyness.
For those who frequent Wanhxiang Building often, some unusual occurrences would catch their attention.
The girls responsible for entertaining scholarly patrons used to sing laments and songs filled with sorrow and grief.
