About This Novel
Reform is a consensus, the biggest benefit cake of the late Qing Dynasty, and it is also a duel ground for factional politics. Whether it is the Empress Dowager Cixi, the royalists, the Manchu dignitaries, or the pro-Western forces and the Boxer Rebellion, everyone is involved in it and takes turns to appear. In the end, the Eight-Power Allied Forces came to Beijing under the guise of protecting the embassy. The turbulent and chaotic situation of the Qing Dynasty was finally reshuffled, with some people being eliminated and others taking over. When the reform finally had to be pushed onto the fast track, the Manchu royal family and the powerful Yuan Shikai launched a desperate struggle for the leadership of the reform. With a gunshot in Wuchang City, the revolutionaries shouted exciting slogans and stepped into the center of power. A new round of intricate overt and covert struggles between Yuan Shikai, Song Jiaoren and Sun Yat-sen kicked off... Behind the seemingly absurd and strange historical events, there is an extremely clear choice of interests and power game.
