On either side of the shrine were scrolls, inscribed with: "Through millennia of change, only the orchid laughs at the world."
It is said that after Guan Zhong became the prime minister of the Qi State, he implemented a series of reforms, including the establishment of government-operated entertainment venues. According to the "Strategies of the Warring States, Strategy of the Eastern Zhou", Lord Huan of Qi's palace had seven markets and seven hundred female quarters, the so-called female quarters being the original practitioners of the pleasure industry.
Later, in the Jianghu, the Orchid Sect emerged, which revered Guan Zhong as its patriarch.
The Orchid Sect has undergone many transformations over the years. In today's era, this sect is no longer known, but its influence is deeply rooted in the entertainment industry. Xie Chunlei is a descendant of the Orchid Sect, and like any organization, the Orchid Sect had to adapt to survive.
