I need your opinion. Does this accurately sum up the monstrosity that is Spring Moon?

As a child, Spring Moon was surrounded by wealth. She had a servant, Plum Blossom, when she was very young and her bedroom was described as being “shaded by the green-tiled roof” (page 2). When Plum Blossom hangs herself and the Patriarch of the House of Chang dies, Spring Moon is catapulted into a different world, leaving that of childhood behind.
    Bold Talent, Spring Moon’s uncle, is made the new patriarch. He arranges a marriage between his friend Glad Promise and Spring Moon. They gradually fall in love and have a child, Lustrous Jade, though Glad Promise never sees her. A host of characters die, including her father Sterling Talent, and Spring Moon and Lustrous Jade return to the Chang house in Soochow. Lustrous Jade becomes problematic and is sent to a Christian school where she becomes a missionary. Spring Moon falls in love with Bold Talent and has her cousin, Enduring Promise. Bold Talent never knows that Enduring Promise is his son as Spring Moon sends him to Dummy’s village to be raised by her and her husband; Enduring Promise, first named Little Treasure, is later brought back to Soochow. August Winds, a distant relative, falls in love with Lustrous Jade, who in turn falls in love with Resolute Spirit. Resolute Spirit and Lustrous Jade go on to become married communists. Bold Talent is killed and, later, Lustrous Jade and Resolute Spirit are too.
I mean yes, I cut off a bit abruptly, but I have no idea what happens after that. HELP.

Also, I named the file 'Spring Moon Book Review - IN YOUR PANTS.' Yeah. I'm pretty damn jokes.

PS. Why does every one of my posts have some obscure reference to Brotherhood 2.0? I think I'm abusing the tag ...
