粉妝樓

Set in the golden age of the Tang dynasty, the story follows a principled courtier who has earned the emperor’s trust through honesty and dedication. He raises two strikingly gifted sons—one famed for his dazzling looks and fierce bravery, the other for his balanced talent in both pen and sword. Their world is shaken when a corrupt chancellor, hungry for power, engineers the official’s sudden reassignment to the restless frontier, leaving the family torn between duty and the safety of the young heirs.

Before departing, the father gathers trusted allies and secures promises to look after his sons, who are eager to prove themselves. Their first taste of freedom comes amid a fresh snowfall on a remote mountain, where the brothers set out to hunt and encounter a mysterious black tiger that darts through the drifts. The encounter sparks both excitement and unease, hinting at the dangers that lie ahead as they step beyond the protective walls of the capital.
