During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Luo Zhiran chose a concubine to enter the palace and became a nobleman. Also entering the palace at the same time as her were Chen Ruoqin, who was in love with her sisters, Wang Guanling, who was arrogant and vicious, Gu Xiangzhu, who looked gentle but was also a wealthy man, and Guo Qingqiong, the noble lady Lu Wanrou who was a woman but not a man. In addition, there are also the virtuous and dignified queen, the beautiful and intelligent Concubine Xian, and Concubine Yu, the mother of the fifth elder brother Yongqi. The days of entering the palace were rough and turbulent, Zhiran and Ruoqin supported each other, and Guanling and Xiangzhu were as close as sisters. However, because of the emperor's love, they became suspicious and jealous of each other, and even resorted to unscrupulous means.
In the palace, Zhiran slowly learned the rules of survival, which are still used today even hundreds of years later. Zhiran was not the most favored woman in the harem, but she made her son the emperor, and asked the emperor to give her the power to rule the six palaces after deposing the queen. The prototype of Luo Zhiran in the article is Lingfei, the concubine of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, and her fifteenth elder brother Yonglian is the Emperor Jiaqing. Due to the need for some revisions in the novel, it is not entirely a historical prototype. However, this story basically describes the history of Qianlong. History is as exciting as novels, because no matter it is ancient or modern, everyone is a book with legendary stories.
This novel is set in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and the characters in the story are all real historical figures. Of course, some modifications have been made due to the needs of the plot, and some characters and stories have been added. The novel takes out the essence of history and modifies it to recreate the intrigues of the women in the palace and the emperor's schemes against his ministers hundreds of years ago.
