Alone in the desolate cold, whom can I confide in? I turn my head, and the palace towers rise in all their splendor. Red walls loom indistinctly behind the mist. She is an orphan, caught amid the struggles for power. What path should she take? In the contest among the nine princes, the Eighth Prince meets defeat, the Fourth Prince finally ascends the throne, and the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes each face their own trials. How, then, will the Fifth Prince, scarcely mentioned in the historical record, face his fate?
I’ve read many Qing palace stories, but I haven’t come across one with Yin Qi, the Fifth Prince of the Kangxi era, as its male lead. So I wrote this one, and I hope you’ll share your thoughts!
Comment from November 5, 2009:
It’s been a long time since I wrote anything, but today I’ve posted a small update. The story’s framework has actually been set for a long time, but I haven’t touched it in ages, so I feel a little disconnected from it. Even writing a short section takes several rounds of revisions. I hope you’ll bear with me.
So many years! I have been following Zhuying, a girl from the Tong family, /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ I hope you will write more articles, I really like your writing style, Red Mansion style!!!
It's been several years, come back to see it again
Isn't it mean for a woman who doesn't like herself to want to harm her whole family?
Come around again in a year!
After all these years, I have been reluctant to delete it!
I'm not going to come over and take a look. There aren't many articles about Fifth Brother, so I'm really looking forward to the result.
Although it has been more than two years, I still come here from time to time to see if Yingda has given up on it? If so, please inform me, who has been waiting for more than two years!
I have been following the article since the beginning, but every time I read it, there is no update. I wonder if Zhuying will continue to write?
Update quickly, I'm so anxious!
The more precise the text is, the more careful it is in writing. But, my God, I have to write a little bit. The more I let it go, the harder it is to pick it up. One article of this, one article of sleep... It's really worrying. The same was true for Shui Changdong, who was waiting for Master Du Ruo back then. At least the hole was smoothed out. When will these wait?
