"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empress Dowager of the West!" Xing Zhen sat upright at the center of the crowd, wearing a phoenix crown adorned with multicolored amber. Her expression grave and composed, she watched a group of kneeling officials. Xing Zhen remembered those men surrounding her like jackals, forcing her to hand over the imperial seal and imprisoning her in a deserted palace, where she lived with rats and fought cats and dogs for scraps. All she could do was endure, meekly, and stay alive. She knew an army in the distance was waiting for its chance to strike. Nearby, a cold, nameless corpse lay in a coffin. She dared not say who he was, nor how long he had been dead. She had to endure. Xing Zhen understood that beneath the lake's placid surface, under today's clear skies, murderous intent lurked everywhere... She stood alone atop a tall building, wishing to send a letter adorned with colorful writing and a simple note, but with mountains long and waters vast, she knew not where to send it.
Yehenara Xing Zhen, a legendary empress of her time, was once celebrated and admired by countless people. After her death, however, she was blamed and criticized in every way. As for her merits and failings, and the history of a hundred years, who can truly tell them apart?

Why didn't you write it down?
I was wrong, I was wrong, it turns out it's not rebirth
Isn't Xing reborn? She doesn't know if Qing passed the audition safely???
My novel is also about the late Qing Dynasty. There are very few novels describing this period. After all, it is not easy to become popular. To be honest, reading online novels is nothing more than a momentary pleasure, but the history after the Xianfeng period is mostly heavy and gloomy. Poverty, disease, and numbness enveloped China, which was already a semi-colonial country at that time. It was a bit far-fetched to try to recover from the stroke. Regarding Cixi, what impressed me most was the donkey rolling. In fact, I believe that a large number of readers are disgusted with Cixi. So what angle to write from and what perspective to write from are very important, but also very difficult.
The writing is beautiful and the style is my favorite. The author keeps up the good work.
