The Moon Shines Full Over the River

The second book in the Zhao Family Jade Disc Trilogy tells the life story of Zhao Wu, a figure who bridged the past and future of the Zhao family.

Of all the tales told about him, the most widely known among the people is the zaju play The Orphan of the Zhao Family, written by Ji Junxiang in the Yuan Dynasty. Centered on a wrongful injustice and revenge, its conflicts are intense, its twists and turns dramatic, and its tragic tone deeply moving.

But the truth was not so.

Zhao Wu's life was surrounded by the truth, devoted to pursuing it, and ultimately spent coming to terms with it.

History is dark and cold, yet its truth makes it moving.
