Abstract: With its realistic description, Ching Ping-mei has shaped a batch of images of maidservants and revealed their tragic fate as well as their marital status to some degree. And maidservants were considered as the properties of their masters who could rape them whenever or wherever they liked. Meanwhile, their marriages were completely determined by their masters. Even if they were adopted as their concubines, they could not change their status. Because their marriages could not be satisfied, these maidservants would be full of resent and hence they had love affairs stealthily to satisfy their lusts. With the legalization of trade of maidservants, their living conditions got even worse and their marriages became more difficult.
