I am not Ximen Qing.

Even though *Dream of the Red Chamber* is a love story written in oracle bone script, isn't it another mirror reflecting Ximen Qing's love story? Every man dreams of having Ximen Qing! In reality, there's no way to change it; Tang poetry and Song lyrics are actually the true metaphors. The masters of the genre, the ancestors of the eight-legged essay, Bai Juyi, Yuan Zhen, Du Mu, and Su Dongpo couldn't use the techniques of *Jin Ping Mei* when they went to brothels, so they had to use Tang poetry and Song lyrics to write love stories. Shakespeare used *The Futility of Love* to depict the kings, ministers, nobles, and the upper class's lament about love and dreams. These hypocritical nobles possessed incomparably beautiful love and affection, and then they used futile love to reveal their hypocritical personalities. This is the huge difference between reality and dreams. Dreams in the mind are for self-appreciation; real dreams are products of fantasy. The artistic value of *Jin Ping Mei* lies in showing the real side of dreams. It's possible that Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng (the author) wrote himself as the real Ximen Qing. The art of *Jin Ping Mei*, which is endlessly fascinating, can be imagined as the beauty of objects, the beauty of objects concealing a great love dream.

Even without reading Balzac's *The Ass's Skin*, *The Fall of a Courtesan*, or *Disillusionment*, the great novelist still excels at depicting love and lust, the decadence of love and passion, the Great Love that hides the beauty of a fallen paradise. Caesar experienced what true love and passion are. Balzac's *The Stairway to Heaven* is a testament to this. Now, please don't laugh at Pan Jinlian in *The Plum in the Golden Vase*. What's the difference between Pan Jinlian and Esther? They are both captivated by love. Once they lose love, they feel uneasy. They can no longer accept God's baptism; they are beyond redemption. Only through the decadence of love can they be resurrected! I just want to clarify that love and passion are addictive, not as simple as you might imagine, not something you can easily break off. Love is addictive, simply to illustrate whether love and passion are the energy that leads to the stairway to heaven or another stable form of energy—what is instinct? There is still no clear explanation. Think of the image of the Buddha Father and Buddha Mother embracing naked, and Emperor Qianlong's Joyful Buddha. Buddhism does not exclude love and romantic love itself. Buddhism exists precisely in love and love itself. The Heart Sutra advocates that form is emptiness, and emptiness is form. The existence of form and emptiness is relative. Buddhism's way of showing love and romantic love is the highest level, the most inclusive way, the way of showing emptiness. It is precisely the way of showing the true essence of love. It is also the explanation of love in the final ending of many romance novels. Dream of the Red Chamber is the same, as is Jin Ping Mei. In the end, they all use Buddhism to explain what love and romantic love are, what the form and emptiness of love and romantic love are. Viola seems to have forgotten everything in the past. At first, when they looked at each other, Viola's eyes were clear. Like a mirror reflecting its existence, the bronze mirror possesses a magical quality. In the world of *Jin Ping Mei*, characters like Wu Yueniang, Pan Jinlian, Li Ping'er, and Meng Yulou all possessed the world's finest bronze mirrors. In the past, women used head-mounted mirrors for grooming and dressing, indicating that their aesthetic sense was far more sophisticated than that of women today. This is the dreamlike beauty brought about by the art of bronze mirrors. Our appreciation of beauty is gradually lost in daily life.

"I will not fall in love with you, I will not betray him, do you understand?"

Viola swore she only enjoyed the pleasures of love and romance, but no one knew who she loved, or what form that love took. The familiar yet strange body, love and romance are a form of beauty, but in reality, love and romance are quite hypocritical. The world we see is a dollhouse in the name of love and romance. Finally, a place to breathe. Coming here is truly peaceful. The lakeside is bathed in moonlight, reflecting the starry sky. The outline of the two-story wooden loft was designed with various environmental considerations in mind. The design company behind the 798 Jiuxianqiao project installed solar panels on the movable, detachable modules, providing a complete energy solution and intelligent services. It's an exaggeration to say this is called "Wild Duck Lake Romance." Nowadays, lovers in big cities like to escape the city's congestion and go to the suburbs, to lakes where wild birds, geese, and swans live. Go up to talk about love, because love closer to nature is purer and simpler. It seems city love is wild, Dionysian, Apollonian, Nietzschean—a kind of frenzied madness. People think of Thoreau's Walden Pond romance, but perhaps love, like romance, is just a nominal excuse. Let's not discuss love itself for now; let's look at the surrounding environment. The light shining through the window gives a feeling of facing the sea. The space and lake water can make one more confident, free, and peaceful. It allows one to release all inner discomfort—the city's flaws, the city's pressure, the city's troubles. Humans are so contradictory; after being away from the city for a long time, they miss it. In fact, people can no longer live without the city. Diversity is one thing, but society needs the evolution and civilization of the city. Viola just wants to escape this world, but how can he let Viola leave this world? Escaping this world is absolutely impossible. Viola could become demented, develop Alzheimer's, become a vegetable—among three choices that could cause him to lose normal function, which would he prefer? To prove that his love for Viola is genuine and real, not hypocritical, and to promise responsibility, is somewhat utopian. It merely emphasizes Viola's predicament in love, her being shackled by its constraints, her wings of love firmly bound. Swimming in the lake, emerging soaking wet, is a form of intimate communication, a gradual ascent along the steps of love and affection towards a lost paradise—a love that can make everything lose its way. Viola was created for the existence of love, not for the Duke's love on the 12th night.

Kant, Rousseau, Timon, and Pompey could never truly understand Caesar's anguish, his helplessness, his ambition, and his dreams! Caesar proclaimed his grand vision of Web 3.0, a financial revolution fueled by the slogan of honor and dreams, and proclaimed it to the world.

"I killed Pompeii, but in fact, Pompeii was betrayed by a woman."

If all that's left is money, no other currencies like Euros, Dollars, Yen, Won, or Rubles, just bundles of Yuan besides the Dollar, it seems the whole world is built on paper money. Money is a force, a force that extends to London, Alaska, France, Germany, and the Statue of Liberty in New York. This dream tormented Caesar. Rousseau was quite capable; he went wherever he could, wherever he could reach. Rousseau also played the role of Jesus Christ, but instead of healing with blood, he used miracles—another kind of magic weapon. Money is the best besides Jesus. The redeemed finally spoke, since returning to his homeland—who says it's the homeland of culture? But what use is culture without money? If not, he didn't use confessions, uh, to heal his soul, but money. He seemed to have never seen so much money in his life. His dream was to own a few houses here, plus some savings. He didn't ask for much, not even a fraction of Caesar's wealth—just 10 million in assets. A few houses in his hometown and 10 million in savings, totaling a little over 10 million in assets, would satisfy him. I wonder if he had read Rousseau's Confessions or Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. He was tormented by not being able to speak for years because he hadn't earned any money. Look how much money affected him! A lack of money almost made him mute, made him speechless. Yet, it suddenly made him a hero. It seems the world is fair; the suffering he endured wasn't in vain. He often marveled at how he could become like Jesus, turning the living dead into the truly wealthy, transforming the speechless into a king's speech—a powerful king's speech. He spoke to Caesar with boundless emotion and feeling, saying that money truly can change things. The power of the world, as the language becomes incoherent, is because it witnesses the miracles brought by money. It can make the mute speak, make Wu Yuzhuo speak, and turn the mute and the speechless into great orators who can give speeches to kings. Rousseau often boasted that he was the real Jesus, the one who could truly change other people's destinies. In fact, Caesar was the one who could truly change other people's destinies. Rousseau was just a clown in front of Caesar, but the clown's position in history can influence the overall situation. For example, Zhao Gao made Huhai the King of Qin, and Zhao Gao was responsible for killing Li Si and the King of Qin. Who would have thought that the famous Emperor Xuanzong of Tang would eventually be manipulated by a eunuch? What Viola asked for was just a hair on Caesar's head. Perhaps it was just a joke, and neither of them took it too seriously. It seems that Rousseau's bottom line is still unknown. Uh, let him become Don Juan, it's quite a thrilling game. Viola's accident can be felt as suffocating. Viola tried to resist, but it turns out that she also had a fatal weakness. In the midst of extravagance and debauchery, everything becomes mad. Viola's power... Viola never imagined he would become a true debt collection queen. Only Viola shed tears. Each of the things is finished—it's that simple, without any complexity. Viola's beauty is her greatest weapon; nothing can withstand the passionate impact of her beauty. Rousseau went to Mexico City to continue being Jesus for her love. I wonder if there are still Mexicans like those in China in Mexico City, using money to cure those who have lost their ability to speak and their ability to have ambition. The theory of making quick money by financial PhDs... In fact, financial PhDs are the true innovators and great mentors of the great financial internet theory. Everything must be fast because global capitalism is in the midst of a pre-collapse economic crisis depression. Seek efficiency, speed, and the benefit of seizing economic dividends! The era of money grabbing in China is over. Like the patent movement of capitalism, the real estate market can no longer rely on so many sheep. The era of capital dividends is over. It's quite interesting, Viola. Caesar even asked Viola to endorse the launch of the finance doctor's new book. I admire Olivia's shrewdness; she can endure anything for profit, at least allowing Caesar to heal his restless heart. That's so straightforward, worthwhile, the most cost-effective method! Olivia is his Achilles; she understands Caesar's fatal human weakness all too well! Olivia is almost a half-medical doctor now, having opened a large beauty hospital because beauty hospitals are the most profitable in China. Women all want to become more sexy, more alluring, and more beautiful, so only truly innovative, high-tech beauty hospitals can achieve transformation and face-changing. Viola has over a dozen high-limit credit cards. Why does LV also like to apply for all kinds of credit cards? Here's the problem: just like the US subprime mortgage crisis, the bank kept piling up credit card bills at home, totaling a whopping 5 million. Mom and Dad asked where the money went, and Viola, the drama queen, acted like she was in The Merchant of Venice. No matter how her parents questioned her about the money, she simply remained silent and kept crying! She just kept crying, unable to explain herself, creating an eerie atmosphere and making Viola seem like the real victim. And if her parents knew the truth, they might think Viola had been scammed out of a huge sum of money? They even went to the police station to report it. It's a pretty bizarre case. Her parents, who own LV bags, were living in a state of utter despair. Where did they get so much money? It's truly hopeless.

"Don't take a lifetime's worth of resources. It's just too unreasonable and illogical. Even if it took the two of us a year to scrape together 100 million, it would be a struggle. How could you come up with a 500 million bill in just a few hours? It's simply illogical!"

"What's so illogical or complicated about it? I can solve it with just 10 high-limit credit cards. The problem is, the problem now is that the banks are pressing me hard."

My mom is planning to mortgage the house.

If Rousseau truly loved Volla, then when she faced such financial difficulties, he didn't hide away from her.

"No, absolutely not, Mom!"

"How about we sell the house we own?"

"Don't make things worse, no, absolutely not! I can handle my own problems."

Viola and Rousseau were originally planning to get married. Rousseau's mother and Viola's parents were quite happy; after all, Viola and Rousseau were childhood sweethearts. Rousseau's mother even whispered to Viola's parents what their son had told her. Viola dreamed of becoming a mother; it had always been her childhood dream, so she could have her own family. Weren't Viola's parents a complete family? But Rousseau's mother always thought Viola was strange. Who wants to have children and be a mother? Shouldn't a girl enjoy the joys of life? Why did Viola yearn for new life? She believed that for a girl and woman to become a mother, that was true completeness. Viola always longed for a home where she could be in control, even if it wasn't a complete home, a home that could showcase her maternal independence. Perhaps her parents didn't know how much they secretly resented this. Because of her parents, she lost all the joy of her childhood. Love is addictive; not only men, but women can also hurt others—it's truly terrifying. How exciting it is to mortgage love for money! Love and money are indeed addictive. This choice fueled the war between Caesar and Rousseau. She always liked this method, always enjoying making men compete and challenge each other for Viola's benefit. Maximizing value is the core interest. First, Viola became Caesar's model, his art model, creating a perfect painting reminiscent of Renaissance Raphael, Bolicelli, and Leonardo da Vinci, with Van Gogh's influence. Of course, Michelangelo's artistic style cannot be ignored. The contemporary art world is somewhat chaotic; abstract art is prevalent. Anyway, the ancient Greek nude sculptures in the Louvre are absolute masterpieces of goddess aesthetics, embodying both flesh and soul, and reflecting universal values. Viola thought there was no beauty in Caesar's soul that could move him. But it's not that she hadn't seen the world's captivating things. High society loves yachts, luxury cars, and opulent villas; the law of attraction always maximizes value.
