In the common perception, ancient brothels and modern red-light districts are more or less the same, filled with many women with fiery red lips greeting patrons at the door.

Stepping through the main entrance, there was a spacious hall decorated with understated luxury before him, and at the end of the hall there was a secluded screen, painted with the refreshing scenery of a bamboo forest.
There were hardly any people seated in the hall.
