The role of brothels

Butterhouses are not brothels, but places of love where the gentry pursue freedom and equality under the feudal system. It is also a paradise for literary exchanges.

In ancient times, brothels were like today's big hotels. In addition to the boss, there were many security guards and service staff. It's not called a big hotel or anything like that, it has a poetic and picturesque name.

Some of the women in brothels came because of crimes, some came because their relatives were sold, some came voluntarily, some came through drafts, etc. Chen Yuanyuan, one of the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai", was sold to Suzhou Liyuan by her uncle who valued profit over justice. The women in brothels generally only sell their skills and not their bodies.
