WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“The place you'd least expect them to hide is precisely where they are.”
💡 Cultural Insight: The Jiaofang Institution and 'The Dark Beneath the Lamp'

The Jiaofang was an official imperial bureau housing female entertainers, often political offenders' kin; its public notoriety paradoxically makes it an ideal place to hide under plain sight ('灯下黑').
