| Summary | "鏡花緣" by Ruzhen Li is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story appears to explore themes of female virtue and talent against a backdrop of fantastical elements, with the main focus on the lives of various goddesses and flowers in a fairy-tale-like setting. The narrative introduces us to a group of celestial beings, notably the 百花仙子 (Hundred Flower Fairy), who play significant roles in their mystical world. The opening of the novel sets a rich and vibrant tone as it describes the gathering of deities at the celebration of the Queen Mother of the West's birthday. It highlights the intricate hierarchy among the goddesses, their responsibilities, and the constraints placed upon them regarding the blooming of flowers. As the 百花仙子 prepares for the festivities, dialogue reveals their concerns about obedience to celestial orders and hints at the interplay of destiny and free will. Deftly weaving together themes of nature, fate, and the feminine spirit, the early chapters establish a mystical landscape filled with potential intrigue and conflict. The narrative suggests a blend of traditional values and fantastical storytelling, inviting readers into a world where the actions of the celestial directly impact the earthly realm.
