Flowerbed Master

"Master of the Boudoir" is an urban novel by the web author Blade Thousand Waves, comprising 512 chapters and concluding with "The Finale." The story opens with the protagonist, Yang Wufeng, seeing off his master, Huang Qixiong, and his junior martial sister, Xu Qiaolun, at Shanghai Airport: his master is departing for the United States to open a martial arts school, while his junior sister stays behind to continue her studies at Fudan University. Before parting, his master leaves him a bank card with three million yuan, but Yang Wufeng insists on not touching it, preferring to carve out his own path in the big city through his own abilities.

Afterward, Yang Wufeng enters society as a college student who has not yet graduated. Armed with his skills in traditional martial arts and a flexible way of handling matters, he navigates between the workplace, the business world, and the underworld: serving as a driver for a female CEO, meddling in corporate infighting, helping friends out of trouble, and becoming entangled in a series of complicated relationships as women keep appearing around him. The story spins out multiple threads involving media companies, casinos, and overseas Chinese gangs. Through repeated conflicts, Yang Wufeng establishes his footing, rises from a down-and-out student to a man of means, and gradually lets go of the emotional wound left by his mother's abandonment years ago.

The book's tagline is "Passing through a garden of flowers, yet every petal clings," and it follows the popular male-oriented urban fiction formula, blending traditional martial arts with romance. Fast-paced and dialogue-heavy, the plot caters to the tastes of male readers of urban web fiction. The book currently circulates mainly as a web serial and in electronic form, with no official print publication record.
