The writing incorporates a wealth of historical facts and character allusions, making it a "human comedy written in the style of Dream of the Red Chamber." Continuing from "The Red Chamber Rupture" and "The Legend of Cao Xueqin," the book picks up from the turmoil in the court upon the accession of the Qianlong Emperor, depicting both the dramatic shift of imperial power and the story of the Cao Xueqin family's attempt to regain its former glory during the Yongzheng era.
