Title 畫圖緣
Alternate Title Hua Tu Yuan
Credits Produced by Hoi Man Man
Summary "Hua Tu Yuan" by Tianhua Zang Zhuren is a historical fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the protagonist, Hua Tenghe, a talented and handsome young scholar navigating themes of fate, love, and conflict as he becomes embroiled in a struggle against a notorious bandit leader terrorizing the region. The novel explores elements of traditional Chinese culture and societal expectations while delving into the lead character's pursuit of personal and external challenges. The opening of the novel introduces the philosophical concept of "yuan" (fate or destiny) and sets a poetic and reflective tone, hinting at the intertwining of human lives and cosmic forces. The narrative shifts to describe a tumultuous time in the Guangdong province, where a bandit named "Plague Fire Snake" wreaks havoc. Amid this backdrop, Hua Tenghe's aspirations for wealth, status, and companionship create an inner conflict as he interacts with a mysterious old man who prescribes a path toward fame through a detailed map revealing the bandits' hideouts. This initial segment effectively sets the stage for the unfolding journeys of both the hero and the external conflicts he must confront. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
