Jiang Shengnan, pioneer of the women’s epic historical novel, brings to life the astonishing legend of China’s first empress dowager! She was a legendary woman who truly existed. The title “Empress Dowager” originated with her, as did the tradition of empress dowagers wielding supreme power. She was the great-great-grandmother of Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor of the Ages. Following the path of Shang Yang’s reforms, she laid the foundation for Qin’s eventual unification of the realm.
During the Warring States period, Mi Yue was the beloved young princess of King Wei of Chu. But after his death, her life took a sudden turn for the worse. Her mother, Lady Xiang, was expelled from the palace by Queen Dowager Chu, and Mi Yue and her younger brother Mi Rong survived one disaster and crisis after another. Mi Yue and the young nobleman Huang Xie grew up together and fell deeply in love, but she was sent far away to Qin as a dowry companion for Mi Shu, the legitimate princess. Mi Shu became queen of Qin, while Mi Yue was forced to become a favored concubine. The sisters’ affection gradually fractured after Mi Yue gave birth to Ying Ji. As the princes fought for the throne, King Ying Si of Qin died with regrets. Mi Yue and her son were exiled to distant Yan. Then, unexpectedly, King Wu of Qin, Ying Dang, died while attempting to lift a heavy cauldron, plunging Qin into chaos. Mi Yue returned to Qin with the help of the Yiqu army and quelled the internal turmoil. Her son Ying Ji ascended the throne as King Zhaoxiang of Qin. Mi Yue became the first empress dowager in history, known as Queen Dowager Xuan.

Even today, some scholars firmly believe that she was the true owner of the Terracotta Army.
In an age of fierce rivalry, as heroes vied for supremacy and fortunes changed in the blink of an eye, how did she rise to the pinnacle of history?
Amid palace intrigues and repeated brushes with death, what winding, tender, and deeply moving entanglements of the heart did she experience?
The writing style is majestic, the history is profound, the words are magnificent, and different ages have different perceptions. When I was in college, I read it and focused on the love entanglements between Mi Yue and several people. When I read it again ten years later, I had a deeper understanding. It took me half a month to read the whole book, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.
This book is so beautiful and in-depth. It is the best inspirational novel about the counterattack of a powerful heroine that I have read in so many years. Mi Yue is really great, and the author is more experienced. The author's ability to quote classics is simply outstanding. I admire it so much [Like][Like][Like][Like][Like][Like][Like][Like]
Finally finished reading it in one sitting! Infinitely exciting!
The language is vivid and the content is rich! The stories are intertwined and thrilling. It's so addictive! A very good book!
It's very interesting. It's not like those mindless heroine novels. There are many allusions and depth.
Great, very nice book.
Perfect book
I won't say much about the author's writing ability. He can be called a literary master. What I want to say is the character image of this book. The character of Mi Yue is very well created. She has the ruthlessness and ambition of an emperor, as well as a woman's psychological dependence on men, relatives, and children. Although love seems to be just a "pleasure" thing for Mi Yue, in fact, Mi Yue has buried love deep in her heart, whether it is the intertwining of love and hate for Ying Si, and the use and attachment to King Yiqu. Still has a "white moonlight" obsession with Huang Xie. Mi Yue is not like a male emperor. The author's Mi Yue still has more of a woman's delicate understanding of emotions.
Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking
Rich content and positive energy
It makes people's blood boil! This ability and resourcefulness are really admirable!
