Description
"Moon Flower" is about Diao Chan, one of the Four Legendary Beauties in Ancient China, during the late Han Dynasty (206 BC - AD 220). This is the tale of her personal sacrifice for the restoration of Han Reign, and for the salvation of her countrymen from tyranny. Around the year AD 190, the Han Court was in a state of turmoil. The nation was ruled by a powerful warlord, Dong Zhuo, through a child puppet emperor he installed, with tyranny and cruelty. His power was further strengthened with his adoptive son, Lu Bu, on his side; who was considered as the most valiant warrior in the entire nation. In desperation to save Han Court from the usurper Dong Zhuo, Interior Minister Wang Yun used his mesmerizingly beautiful young concubine, Diao Chan, in an interlocking scheme of deadly seduction. Diao Chan, an innocent young orphan taken from a Guanyin temple as a gift to Wang Yun by his mother, did not fully realized what a perilous web she was tangling herself into. In this fiery tale of vengeance and deception, she was the rare and exquisite moon flower drenched in a rain storm, and the three men who loved and desired her.
