Li Fan, "…Ah? Did I get that backwards?"
"Exactly! I also found it very strange. If it were just a woman with some talent and good looks, having one or two lovers and meeting occasionally every three to five days would be normal. But at Xianyi View, come nighttime, it's bustling like traffic on a river, incessant! Could that Xuantian scholar really be that formidable, engaging in endless revelry day and night? That's just too absurd!
So, taking advantage of the case, I made inquiries and found out that many talented and romantic scholars were deliberately wooed and flattered by the Xuantian scholar who admired their learning. She could hold a conversation with them, which made them see her even more as a close confidante, indispensable. When they met, they often discussed poetry and songs, or composed and painted, and only when emotions ran deep would there be merrymaking.
