Zhulin yeshi

Set in around 600 BC during the Spring and Autumn period, a young and unmarried lady named Su'e (素娥) dreams of being taught the art of love-making by Taoist master Hua Yue (華月).

[5] First using her newfound sexual prowess to attain eternal youth,[5] she then seduces multiple men until she is stopped by a rival Taoist master who becomes her lover and joins her in her quest for immortality.

[4] Comprising sixteen chapters[3] and twenty-one poems,[6] Zhulin yeshi was written in the late Ming dynasty by an anonymous writer using the pseudonym Chi Daoren (痴道人),[7] translated into English as "Infatuated Moralist"[7] or "Man of the Crazy Way".

[5] Likewise, in the Han dynasty text Yufang mijue (玉房秘訣) or Secret Instructions from the Jade Chamber, the Taoist mistress Xiwangmu (西王母) is described as engaging in "sexual vampirism".

[11] Zhulin yeshi also presents an "extremely confused" discussion of sex toys; a dildo, for instance, morphs into a Burmese bell without any explanation, which Olivia Milburn suggests may be due to a "garbled interpolation from some unknown source.
