Summary "粉妝樓全傳" by Guanzhong Luo is a historical novel written in the early 17th century. The book unfolds an intricate tale set during the prosperous Tang dynasty, following the lives of noble characters, particularly focusing on the exploits and adventures of the two sons of Luo Zeng, namely Luo Can and Luo Kuan. Their journey is interspersed with themes of loyalty, honor, and the pitfalls of political intrigue, as they navigate family matters and the treachery surrounding them. At the start of the narrative, Luo Zeng, a nobleman with a clear moral compass, prepares to depart for the border to quell a rebellion, leaving behind his two ambitious sons in the capital. Feeling concerned for their safety amidst political corruption led by the cunning Prime Minister Shen Qian, he entrusts their wellbeing to loyal friends and relatives. As the story unfolds, we see the brothers’ personalities emerge—Luo Can, the courageous and handsome elder, and Luo Kuan, skillful and wise. While Luo Zeng faces looming dangers, his sons are compelled to rise to their own challenges, setting the stage for camaraderie, conflict, and honor amidst a backdrop of soaring ambition and treachery. The richness of character and setting provides a vivid portrayal of the era, inviting readers into a world of adventure and moral dilemmas. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
