Plot Setting: The plot in Madam Huzhu and the plot in Chu Qiao's biography have many similarities such as both works have characters who start out ordinary and then achieve great things in their own right both have characters who are fallible and learn from their mistakes and both have characters who are deeply committed to their chosen causes [3. Worldview Setting: Madam Huzhu and Chu Qiao's Biography both tell an ancient story that involves the ancient social system, culture, politics, and so on.] However, Madam Hu Zhu's worldview was different from Chu Qiao's biography. Madam Hu Zhu's worldview was more realistic and closer to history, while Chu Qiao's biography was more fictional and exaggerated.
