The book is based on The Peacock Flies Southeast, the most celebrated long narrative poem of ancient China. Set in the late years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the story tells of the tragic love between Jiao Zhongqing, a minor official of Lujiang Prefecture and his wife Liu Lanzhi. The present version, while sticking faithfully to the original, makes a number of roles embellished in order to add twists and conflicts to the plot.
