N2  - "鶯鶯傳" by Yuan Zhen is a Tang dynasty tale about a conflicted relationship between a sixteen-year-old girl and a twenty-one-year-old student torn between love and duty. When Zhang protects a wealthy widow's family from danger, he becomes infatuated with her beautiful but petulant daughter, Yingying. Their intense, secretive affair begins passionately but grows strained as Zhang pursues his career ambitions and Yingying feels increasingly abandoned. This pioneering work mixed narration, poetry, and letters to create psychologically complex characters that would inspire countless later Chinese literary works.
