Set against the backdrop of early 20th century China, the narrative explores the intertwining lives of Mr. Feng, a prosperous merchant, and David Winterlea, an English diplomat. The story delves into the romantic relationships between these men and the sisters Lotus and Peony, highlighting cultural exchanges and the complexities of love across national boundaries. This translation of a 1913 work showcases the allure of cross-cultural romance in Chinese literature.
