About This Novel
This book introduces the turbulent Qing Dynasty during the Xianfeng period. Emperor Xianfeng took over the power of the Qing Empire amidst the turmoil. He also wanted to achieve something, but unfortunately, bad luck. On one side, there were internal worries of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and on the other side, there were external threats from the great powers. The Second Opium War pushed the unlucky emperor into a tragic situation where he was attacked from both sides. The treasury was empty, and his ministers failed to live up to expectations. Tianjin fell, Beijing fell, and the Old Summer Palace was burned to the ground... After his death, he handed over the government to a smart woman, who later became the Empress Dowager Cixi.
