The Secret History of European Palaces is Addictive Once You Read It
by Pu Xue
About This Novel
Opening this bloody palace apocalypse, you will step into the forbidden garden at the pinnacle of European power. From the Machiavellian meat grinder of the Tudor Dynasty to the poisonous afternoon tea of the Bourbon noble lady, from Catherine's pillow warfare to the abnormal gene pool of the Habsburg family, the thrilling secret history peels away the splendid coat of lies layer by layer. Witness the fatal marriage of the guillotine and blood diamonds, decipher the three-hundred-year-old imprisonment code of the madwoman Juana, and witness the strange signs before the collapse of the seven dynasties - when the weight of the crown needs to be borne by the bending of the spinal cord, when the holy wedding dress is soaked in the fragrance of arsenic, history reveals its truest fangs: all the most brilliant powers are parasitic on the abyss of human nature. This book uses a film-level narrative to restore the dusty dark truth in historical archives, and dissects the conundrum of power with scalpel-like strokes, making every page filled with the smell of blood under velvet and the fragrance of death in the rose garden. This is not the palace story you imagined, but an anatomy lesson of power spanning thousands of years.
