"Free marriage" is the eye-catching phenomenon at the end of the Qing Dynasty

and the main theme in that era.The heroines were the female students who had received western education.Because "free marriage" frequently tended to conflict with the traditional morality of women

feminine scholars usually remain conservative on this issue.Only when the theme of love in the social novels of the late Qing Dynasty was raised to "benevolence" height could the love reach a consensus with morality.The female students’ pursuit for love in the love-related novels was usually led up to "sappiness"

which is the fabrication made by the novelists rather than the reality.The appearance of new feminine figures awaits the appearance of gender-related morality and new literature of May Fourth.
