What the hell did she pick up? The sickly little sheep that was mentioned, how did she become a great demon king? Something was not right, she had to return it for a bad evaluation! A man said with a straight face, "This product does not have seven days without a reason. As for other matters other than returning the goods, we can talk about them slowly on the bed." & have spent & have spent "Hey!
She had met him in Jiangnan. That year, it had rained down on her and she had made a mistake in her identity. She had secretly decided to spend her life with him ... Unknowingly, he had unknowingly stirred up his own destiny. She was forced to enter the palace and humiliatingly threw away the veil. The face that entered her vision was unexpectedly the face of the yearning "Brother Mu". Misplaced identities, unfathomable emotions, suspicion and resentment were all born in the dark. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Brother Mu, we really can't go back!

In the long course of late imperial Chinese history, servants and concubines formed a vast social stratum in the hinterland along the Grand Canal, particularly in urban areas. Concubinage and Servitude in Late Imperial China is a survey of the institutions and practice of concubinage and servitude in both the general populace and the imperial palace, with a focus on the examination of Ming-Qing political and socioeconomic history through the lives of this particular group of distinct yet associated individuals. The persistent theme of the book is how concubines, appointed by patriarchal polygamy, and servants, laboring under the master-servants hierarchy, experienced interactions and mobility within each institution and in associating with the other. While reviewing how ritual and law treated concubines and servants as patriarchal possessions, the author explores the perspectives available for individualconcubines and servants and the limitations in their daily circumstances, searching for their “positional powers” and “privilege of the inferiors” in the context of Chinese culture during the Ming-Qing time period.

In the past century, tens of millions of women and girls have disappeared in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. There are many reasons: the women variously were sold as "foreign spouses"; imprisoned for their political beliefs; taken to night clubs or massage parlors to work as "escorts"; provided as "comfort women" to soldiers; or murdered by female corpse dealers and sold as "ghost brides" to families looking to give their deceased sons wives in the afterlife. The youngest girls fell victim to infanticide, the tragic result of a "one child" law in a male-dominated society. As a result of the gender imbalance these disappearances created, countless young males now suffer from the "marriage squeeze," remaining single without families of their own. This sociological study explores the institutional factors, develops a typology for these populations, and lays a foundation for the examination of lost populations in the future.
