QR code
"肉蒲團" by Yu Li is a 17th-century Chinese erotic novel written in 1657 and published in 1693. The story follows Weiyangsheng, an arrogant young scholar who boasts of his sexual prowess and rejects Buddhist warnings about his lustful ways. After surgically enhancing himself, he embarks on affairs with married women, only to face karmic retribution when his own wife becomes victim to similar betrayals. This controversial work uses explicit content as allegory
to challenge Confucian puritanism while exploring Buddhist themes of karma and spiritual awakening. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
