It is a mysterious tavern, busy with people coming and going, yet unknown to the world. Here, a storyteller recounts anecdotes about famous figures from history day after day, while actors of the pear garden perform scene after scene from his tales. From beauties growing old to heroes meeting their ends, from great joy and sorrow to ordinary lives, who can truly know whether history is true or false? Everyone thinks they are watching from outside the play, but who is truly awake?
This is co-written by two authors. We will note who wrote each section at the beginning.
The story was conceived quite some time ago, so some oversights are understandable.
Using the timeline of ancient China as a framework, this story recounts anecdotes about famous figures from each dynasty. We use our own perspectives, imagination, and ideas to build a fantasy tale, blending the figures' lives with our own flights of fancy.
