Taking Chen Yuanyuan's life as the starting point and his death as the ending point, these historical stories are completely described in the tone of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Every word in the play is today's vernacular, and there is no word that is unknown. There are many folk legends interspersed in the middle, perfectly combining the iron blood of war and the laughter of life dialogue frequently and perfectly. It is an epic and shocking masterpiece that I have poured my many years of hard work into.
