| Summary | "醒夢駢言" by Juqizi is a classic narrative written in the 17th century. This work can be classified as a traditional Chinese novel that weaves together themes of love, destiny, and societal expectations. The story follows the main character, 曾學深 (Zeng Xueshen), a talented young scholar, as he navigates the complexities of love and fate amidst familial pressures and the societal norms of his time. The opening of the novel introduces us to the protagonist and sets the scene for his impending journey. Zeng Xueshen, the only son of a well-to-do family in Wuchang, is a gifted and handsome scholar expected to marry well. However, he faces challenges in his love life, foreshadowing the twists of destiny that accompany romantic pursuits. Early encounters with various women, including his fateful interactions with a group of nuns at the temple, hint at a romantic entanglement with 陳翠雲 (Chen Cuiyun), a nun who becomes central to his fate.
