This is a romantic love story that took place at the end of the Kokand Khanate in Central Asia in the 19th century. The handsome and knowledgeable orphan Anwar and the beautiful and innocent girl Nora are childhood sweethearts, and they are in love with each other. However, their peaceful life was broken by an appointment from the Khan. Anwar was promoted to chief clerk of the palace. His high position also aroused jealousy. A scorpion-like villain who was jealous of Anwar repeatedly told the lustful and cruel Khan about Nora's beauty. The Khan coerced and lured, and finally made Rano's father agree to marry his daughter to him. Anwar and Nora worked hard to protect their love. With the help of their friends, they fought bravely against the evil forces, and finally escaped from the clutches of the devil and rushed to a new life. The novel uses this tortuous and touching love story to depict a secular picture of the late Khanate: when kind people cannot stand the harsh rule, they will resolutely embark on the road of resistance. It is the confrontation between good and evil, innocence and greed, bravery and weakness that makes this legendary novel gripping and exciting.
