Summary "醒世恆言" by Menglong Feng is a collection of moralistic tales written during the late Ming dynasty. The stories typically explore themes of virtue, familial duty, and social justice, often reflecting on human relationships and societal norms. The narratives usually present characters caught in moral dilemmas, showcasing their choices and consequences.

Set in a time of social distinctions and family loyalties, it begins with the tragic story of a man named Wang Feng and his niece Qiong Ying, whose marriage is manipulated by her uncle for selfish reasons. After a series of misfortunes resulting from their poor choices, including Wang Feng's decision to marry off his niece to an unsuitable man, the tale escalates into themes of redemption and moral values as it juxtaposes the fate of Qiong Ying with that of her cousin, showcasing the complexities of wealth, beauty, and virtue.
