Wu took early retirement in 2005 and, after publishing Liang Shanbo Didn't Die ... and What Happened Afterwards at her own expense, gave copies to amazed friends, family members, and coworkers. Two years later, she put out a sequel in which Zhu Yingtai's daughter becomes a knight errant and founds a utopian commune for single women and women fleeing their husbands.
2005 年辦理提早退休時，她自費出版了《梁山伯沒死…… 之後》一書並分送親友同事，大夥兒都「跌破眼鏡、驚訝連連」；兩年後她再推出「續集」，寫的是祝英台的女兒成為俠女，為逃婚及獨居的女性闢建了一處集體生活的世外桃源的故事。
