Pearls and Jade in Chang’an

The Gaozu Emperor passes away, and a new emperor takes the throne. Yet General Zong, a meritorious subject, is stripped of his home and family. More than two hundred people in his household perish in the flames. Madam Zong, heavily pregnant, narrowly escapes death, but becomes separated from her six-year-old son while fleeing. On a stormy night, she goes into labor alone in a ruined temple deep in the mountains, where she encounters her husband's killer's beloved concubine and the pair of twin baby girls she has just given birth to... (The editor says this is a serious historical drama, but really, it’s a tale of love and hate between a pair of twin sisters and a pair of brothers, with transmigration, outrageous twists, and melodrama galore. Guess which fictional dynasty it’s set in!) Reader group: 769855957
