This novel, based on real historical events and artistic processing, tells the story of how Qianlong's successor Nala (a tragic queen famous for her "broken hair" in history) used modern management methods such as "equity incentives" and "KPI assessments" to reform the harem and promote the development of women's rights after acquiring modern business thinking.
Historically, Nala's hair broke off during the southern tour in the 30th year of Qianlong's reign, which angered the emperor. He was later deposed and was only buried with the ceremony of an imperial concubine after his death. But in this book, she chooses another path - not to resist by cutting off her hair, but to use wisdom and system to rewrite her destiny.
Although the novel is fictional, it incorporates the real bureaucratic system, financial system and social scene of the Qing Dynasty. All reform concepts are based on modern management principles, and the collision with the feudal system of the Qing Dynasty constitutes the core tension of the story.
I hope every reader can gain a little courage to "say no to fate" from the story of Lin Mo (Nala).
After all, rules are dead and people are alive. Living people should not be trapped by dead rules.
