Alternate Title Lü Mu Dan Quan Zhuan
Credits Produced by Yung Hui Chao
Summary "Lü Mudan" (The Green Peony) by Anonymous is a historical novel written in a period likely reflecting the cultural context of the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the intricate political dynamics of the Tang Dynasty, weaving themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the struggles between noble families. Central to the story are characters like Lu Ling Wang, the young prince, and Lu Long, a capable military official, who together navigate the treacherous waters of court intrigue. The opening of "Lü Mudan" introduces the backdrop of a chaotic Tang Dynasty, dominated by the ambitious Empress Wu Zetian. It sets the stage with a discussion of political allegiances and deception, hinting at the personal and societal conflicts that will unfold. As the plot progresses, readers are introduced to the main characters: Lu Long, who is embarking on his duty as a local military officer, and his son, the promising young hero, Lu Hongxun. The dynamics between Lu Hongxun and a local youth named Yu Qian also emerge, foreshadowing deep camaraderie and potential conflict. This rich tapestry of character development and political drama lays the groundwork for a tale about honor, ambition, and the hero's journey amid societal upheaval.
