About This Novel

In the eighth year of Jingtai's reign in the Ming Dynasty, the Forbidden City was in a storm. The prince Zhu Jianshen, who was deposed twice, grew up in the shadow of palace coups, family seizures, party strife and bloodshed. When he ascended the throne at a young age, what he faced was not a prosperous age, but a Ming Dynasty that was torn apart by civil wars and cannibalized by powerful ministers and eunuchs. In the north, there are Mongolian cavalry looking at all sides, and in the south there is an undercurrent of civil unrest; above the court, the civil servants Qingliu and the inner court forces are at odds with each other; and deep in the palace, a woman who has accompanied him through the years of deposed prince, Wan Zhen'er, has become an obsession that he can't let go of in his life. He wants to be the master of ZTE. But the emperor is never alone. From the frightened young man after the "Seize the Gate Incident" to the early Chenghua Dynasty's determination to clean up the imperial court; from the establishment of the West Factory, which shocked the world, to the addiction to elixirs and loneliness in his later years; from pacifying the refugees in Jingxiang, to suppressing the border troubles in Liaodong; from lust, suspicion, kindness, to killing and losing control - A real Ming Empire gradually unfolded in his hands. This is a story about imperial power, desire, loneliness and the times. It is also the life of an emperor who tried to get rid of the shadow of the "civil revolution", but was eventually swallowed up by the times.
