牡丹還魂記

The story is rich with historical details and societal expectations. I'm curious how much of Peony's decisions were shaped by these traditions versus her personal desires.

The blend of love and ghostly elements added a mystical layer, but I wondered if it was meant to be literal or more symbolic of Peony's inner world.

The setting feels deeply immersive and specific. I'm interested in what drew Lisa See to this particular time and place, and how it informs the characters' lives.
