The Jade-cracked North Courtyard: Sheep Presented by the Queen of the Jin Dynasty
About This Novel
The broken jade bracelet unearthed in Xi'an has the names of Hu and Han engraved on the inside, revealing a legend buried in official history. In 311, Luoyang fell, and Queen Yang Xianrong of Jin was captured by Xiongnu monarch Liu Yao. She saved her life with a carefully calculated answer: "How can the king who has subjugated his country be better than you?" But also started to dance on the tip of the knife. Liu Yao was not a simple barbarian chief. He longed to build a sustainable empire that transcended tribes. Yang Xianrong had an insight into his ambition and used Han classics as a boat to try to inject the concept of "cooperation would benefit both sides" into the emerging Hu regime. She annotated the "Spring and Autumn Annals" and advised on the establishment of a prince. It seemed that she gradually rose from a trophy to a "specially favored" queen and political advisor. However, every move she takes to promote integration inadvertently tears apart the old interest structure and sows the seeds of hatred. Her feelings for Liu Yao are struggling between dependence, use and twisted love, while her overprotective son Liu Xi is drifting away from her as Hu Han's identity is torn apart. When the bracelet is engraved with two names, symbolizing the peak of power and emotion, the undercurrent is already surging. Externally, the warlord Shi Le is eyeing her; internally, the resentment of the old aristocracy is boiling due to her policies. Yang Xianrong discovered that the foundation of the fusion tower she had built with all her efforts was so fragile. The ultimate disaster may not stem from external conquest, but from internal irreconcilable contradictions and her own inevitable misjudgment. This jade bracelet ultimately records not only a love affair, but also a tragic and costly experiment about the integration of civilizations.
