Synopsis

Nurhaci, the founding ruler of the Qing Dynasty and a formidable hero of his age, falls for the young Abahai. Like a beautiful orchid in spring, she is too shy to offer herself, and she rejects him again and again.

Nurhaci has seven wives and concubines, each with her own charms, and each cruel, cunning, sinister, or hypocritical in her own way. Abahai’s arrival makes an already turbulent harem even more unsettled...

Her son Dorgon is wise and brave, and with her as his birth mother to rely on, he briefly stands above all others.

How could those coveting the khan’s throne let this mother and son be?

And so, she is inevitably drawn into the treacherous struggle over succession...
