The Li family is one of the city's most prominent families, boasting thousands of acres of fertile farmland, several silk shops, and a magnificent mansion. The head of the family, Mr. Li, is over fifty years old and has twin sons. The eldest, Li Wenxuan, is the legitimate son and the eldest of the two children. He is a dashing and elegant man, skilled in musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and spends his days composing poetry and prose, resembling a refined and elegant gentleman. The servants in the mansion treat him with the utmost respect, and his father cherishes him as a treasure, securing his inheritance. The twins are identical, mirror images, differing only in their birth time—Li Wenxuan, born a few minutes earlier, becomes the legitimate eldest son and enjoys all the splendor.
