Jing Luan: Splendor of a Golden Age

Historical ensemble cast | Power struggles | A portrait of worldly life | The many faces of ordinary people

The middle installment in the Jing Luan series, continuing the story of Jing Luan: A Peaceful Life in a Flourishing Age.

A peaceful age, a tranquil life. A flourishing era, dazzling in its splendor.

Under the Qiping golden age, the people prospered. The capital's wealth reached the heavens, Mingzhou's waterways stretched for thousands of miles, Chuzhou's mountains and rivers were breathtaking, the northern frontier seemed boundless, and Yandu shimmered with rippling waters... The radiance of the golden age shone across the land, as fine carriages and steeds filled the streets and envoys from every corner of the realm came to pay tribute.

In this arena of power, people schemed and plotted, every move deadly. On the chessboard, hearts and desires clashed amid endless deceit. Eagles soared across the daytime sky, while night owls spread their wings in the dark. Who would ascend to the dragon throne at the summit? Who would take up history's brush and write the truth, regardless of the ending?

Beneath the golden age, people lived their lives in this world, each revealing a different facet and together forming a portrait of the era. The grand, the glorious, the clash of armies, the three thousand lanterns: all were buried beneath the winds of history, becoming truths hidden from the light. From then on, the mountains stood high and the roads stretched far, while their names were lost.

The boys they once were were ultimately swept into the land's shifting tides by the passing years.
