| Summary | "金石緣" by Jingtianzhuren is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lives of several characters, particularly focusing on family dynamics, marriage prospects, and societal expectations in a historical Chinese setting. Notably, central figures include the talented young scholar 金桂 and his son 金玉, whose promising future is intertwined with the ambitions and fortunes of those around him. The opening of the novel introduces us to the protagonist, the young scholar 金桂 (also known as 彦庵), who has achieved great academic success at a young age but is thrown into tragedy following a series of family losses. After the death of his parents, he is left to navigate the complexities of life with his children. Concurrently, we learn about 林旺, a wealthy man obsessed with marrying his daughters into high status, and the dire situation of a physician, 石道全, who faces wrongful accusations that could lead to his destruction. These various storylines set the stage for themes of fate, societal pressures, and moral dilemmas as characters confront their circumstances in pursuit of wealth and honor.
