The story takes place in an imaginary era.
The last dynasty was extremely weak and preyed upon by the great powers.
The Queen Mother is in power, the Emperor is weak, the ministers are old and rusty, and the dynasty is in danger.
The emergence of the heroine, who grew up in Europe and was full of new ideas, gave this dying dynasty an opportunity to revive. She helped the weak emperor reform the law, legislate, build schools, and purchase industries. Eventually, a powerful nation with strong ships and powerful artillery was established. At the same time, he brought the cowardly and impoverished emperor out of misfortune and saved his miserable life.
Although she could save the country and the people, she could not save herself.
She seemed to have gained everything in her life, but she watched it rise and collapse, and finally ended up with a vast expanse of white land, so clean.
The first half is about palace battles, where the heroine fights against the Queen Mother's party, and at the same time develops her relationship with the emperor. The second half mainly talks about the political reform and subsequent political struggles. The emotional lines will change and there will be more than one male protagonist.
The historical prototype characters in this article all use pseudonyms.
