Hello, dear readers, I am very happy to have this opportunity to meet you who clicked on this book!
In order to make this story about Lu Siniang more substantial and more relevant to the historical context, I went through the historical records of the Yongzheng Dynasty before writing, and also repeatedly sorted out the legend of Lu Siniang circulated among the people - from the scene of the market at that time to the details of the intrigues in the court, I wanted to integrate them into the story as much as possible, so that everyone can feel the true texture of the times when reading it. Thank you for your support~
"The Secret History of Yongzheng: My Assassin Concubine" plot synopsis
On a snowy night in the third year of Yongzheng's reign, the Lu family died due to a literary prison. The orphan Lu Siniang carried her father's last wish and worshiped Gan Fengchi to learn martial arts and vowed revenge. She lurked in the south of the Yangtze River incognito, practiced swordsmanship, and even sneaked into the Governor's Mansion to find evidence that the family had been wronged - the truth about Yan Hongkui's frame-up and Yong Zheng's move to gain power.
In order to take revenge, she disguised herself and entered the palace as a maid, but when she saw Yongzheng's exhaustion in correcting memorials in the Yangxin Hall and his piety in repenting in the Buddhist hall, her murderous intention gradually turned into a struggle. He had known her identity for a long time, but he did not kill her. Instead, he protected her from the harem and helped her thoroughly investigate old cases. When Yan Hongkui was brought to justice and the Lu family was rehabilitated, she transformed from an assassin into a concubine who accompanied the emperor, and worked side by side with him to promote the New Deal and settle Jiangnan.
From the intertwining of love and hate in the shadow of the palace wall, to the dependence of life and death in the storm of the New Deal, she finally transformed from a revengeful orphan to a queen who assisted two dynasties. This legend hidden within the red wall depicts hatred and reconciliation, personal grievances and responsibility for family and country, taking you to see the most ups and downs of love and hate, and the most vivid events of the Yongzheng Dynasty.
