The Bright Moon Shines on the River 3696 明月照江3696
History says Wu Yangchun was falsely accused and framed by Wei Zhongxian, but after looking through some sources, I found the matter suspicious. History says Liu Duo died in the Imperial Prison, while Ouyang Hui threw himself into a river. Since this is a transmigration story and we have a new director, let’s redesign things. Censor Li Shinian and his daughter, Lizhen, come from the late-Ming novel Jade Pavilion in Crimson. Their tragic fates are heartbreaking, so I’ve woven them into the story.
