Bon Incident
by Meng Hui
About This Novel
Meng Hui's "The Bon Incident" is set several years after Wu Zetian came to the throne, and tells a thrilling palace story... Wu Zetian is not the protagonist of the novel, but the queen's omnipresent authoritative shadow becomes an opportunity to start the narrative. The author of "The Bon Incident" is interested in imagining the relationships between people in that era: ethical, political, and erotic relationships. Relatives, princes and princesses, generals, monsters, monks, naughty male favorites, and countless colorful female attendants, all scheming and intertwining into an extremely complex network. This network takes the Holy God Empress as the convergence point. The power of God is unpredictable, who can predict his fate tomorrow? The majestic pomp of the emperor's grace cannot hide the waves of death struggles; behind the arrogance and extravagance, there is the sigh of endless desolation.
