Gathering Clouds and Dust

This is a long-form narrative novel without ornate wording or drawn-out scenes. Using the life of Bo Ji, the birth mother of Emperor Wen of Han, as its thread, it reveals women from all walks of life, with different backgrounds, countless temperaments, and varied fates. It is not the biography of one woman, but a portrait of women in a legendary era of declining morals: some hold fast, some are trapped, some struggle, and some go with the flow... Where will they end up, amid the rise and fall of dust and clouds?
