Description
In 1920s Beijing, a city where ancient customs and modern influences collide, the story revolves around the intertwined lives of those caught in the world of Peking Opera. At the center is Yang Luoxian, a celebrated dan actor whose grace on stage captivates all who see him. His path crosses with Ruhai and Rushan, two brothers from a wealthy family. Young master Rushan is utterly obsessed with Peking Opera and dreams of being part of that world, much to the fury of his older brother Ruhai, who sees the theater as a frivolous and disgraceful pursuit. Their conflict reflects the broader generational struggle between tradition and the changing times. As these characters navigate their passions and resentments, the narrative unfolds through a series of interconnected episodes that blend personal drama with the vibrant, demanding art of the stage. Themes of love, longing, jealousy, and devotion play out against a backdrop of social upheaval, with the lines between performance and reality frequently blurring. The story also follows three brothers and a sister trying to break free from their grandfather's oppressive household, finding unexpected support from Yang Luoxian and his lively theatrical troupe. Through each character's journey, the manga explores the sacrifices made for art, the weight of family duty, and the search for personal freedom in a world that is both beautiful and harsh.
