It is Enü shu (Chinese: 惡女書 ; lit. "Book of a Demon"), a collection of four short stories, the best known of which is Xunzhao tianshi de chibang (尋找天使遺失的翅膀, "In Search of the Lost Wings of Angels"), which has become a classic of tongzhi literature. The story has been anthologised and translated to English twice, by Patricia Stieber and Fran Martin. Her story Venus is written from a transgender perspective.
