Experience a book based on the Qing dynasty novel about Hua Mulan

During the Qing dynasty, Zhang Shaoxian took the various Mulan retellings and united them into a story that would captivate audiences for generations to come.

Original cover to the Qing dynasty novel Fierce and Filial

Although Mulan’s story has inspired countless derivative works, few people have had the privilege of reading this classic piece of Chinese literature.

This adaptation features strong female characters, epic battles, and romantic tension.

Impossibly unstable bonds are forged across enemy lines, vows are broken, and characters wrestle with the morality of warfare.

By closely following the plot and characters included in Zhang Shaoxian’s novel (originally published circa 1850), this adaptation will draw the reader into a world that is filled with historical richness.

Mulan, dressed as a man, next to her sworn sister, Princess Lu Wanhua.

While many scenes have been embellished and characters have been given more convincing personalities, this adaptation strives to remain true to Zhang Shaoxian’s original goal: To inspire the reader to live virtuously through conveying an entertaining and engaging story.
