Beauty Pan couldn't keep Wang Mawu.
She was simply shocked, shocked that in Kaiyang County there was someone Wang Mawu was so afraid of.
Afraid enough that the money-loving, pleasure-seeking Wang Mawu abandoned both riches and women.

the brothel did the opposite, opening near nightfall and resting at dawn.
Lighting the lamps meant preparing to open for business.
Beauty Pan looked at the hazy twilight outside the window. Today was no different from any other day, she walked out of the room and instructed the small, hunched girl: "Light the lamps."
"Yes." The little girl quickly responded, not daring to hesitate.
