In the end, he had sex with Pan Suqiu and their debauchery never stopped. After Jiansheng died, he married Concubine Wen. The prodigal not only had an affair with his same-sex partner, the servant Lu Zhu, but also forced his wife to have sex with him.

The next content of the erotic novel is that he went to the home of his old friend, Sinong Cheng Tiemu Duolu.

Tiemu went into the mountains to practice Taoism and entrusted his wives, concubines and property to the playboy. Two years later, the prodigal son was awarded the title of Huangjia and was granted the status of a Jinshi. However, he did not listen to the selection and returned home on the pretext of illness. He had 20 rooms in total, living a happy life of drinking, writing poetry, flirting and having fun every day. People called him "the immortal on earth".

Story review:

The prodigal Meisheng is a rare character who has a happy ending in all the erotic novels that describe indulgence in pleasure. This is directly related to the author's sexual concepts. The author also emphasizes in the book that men and women should have equal rights to sexual enjoyment, which is a view with certain positive significance. However, the author promotes lewdness in the book, places excessive emphasis on and appreciation of sexual enjoyment, and completely disregards all common principles and teachings. This is also the negative effect of the book. Therefore, as soon as the work was published, it was strictly banned.
