About The Deer and the Cauldron (鹿鼎記) DOS

The Deer and the Cauldron (鹿鼎記) is a DOS-era Chinese-language game based on the classic wuxia novel of the same name by Jin Yong (Louis Cha), one of the most celebrated martial-arts writers in the Chinese-speaking world. The novel follows Wei Xiaobao, a cunning, roguish anti-hero who bluffs and schemes his way through the Qing court, and adaptations of Jin Yong's work were a staple of the Chinese and Taiwanese PC scene.

Beyond that literary pedigree I can't reliably describe this specific game's mechanics without guessing, so I'll leave the details to the source. It is worth noting mainly as an example of the substantial Chinese-language DOS gaming culture that Western players rarely encountered, where beloved wuxia novels were routinely turned into interactive form.
