The script is the closest to the original novel one may find
Sox solos from six characters of the Ming Court
Revealing the history of the years under Wanli
Newly arranged Kunqu opera with wusheng excerpts
Interspersed with classic excerpts from The Peony Pavilion
Revealing macro-historical perspective through narrative of small anecdotes

Through a bland year of no significance in Ming Dynasty
