The Most Beautiful Empress of the Qing Dynasty

Court intrigue, power struggles, the turbulent Qing Dynasty, and feuds across the martial world.

Though he lives in the imperial harem, his heart is bound to the court. The grand game for the realm is clear to him.

Using heaven and earth as the board, and the people as his pieces.

He will play a game unlike any the world has ever seen.

A parallel world of Blue Star.

In the Great Qing Dynasty, it is the fourth year of Chengzong's reign. Chengzong is the era name of Aisin Gioro Dorgon, the Great Qing emperor.

In this world, Dorgon is no longer a regent, but a true emperor.

Here, Dorgon's strongest rival for the throne, Hong Taiji's eldest son, Haoge, was blasted into a cloud of blood by Yuan Chonghuan's cannon during the siege of Ningyuan.

Devastated by the loss of his beloved son, Hong Taiji fell gravely ill.

As if fate had not dealt him enough blows, Hailanzhu, the most favored woman in the harem, died of grief over her son's death.

Struck by these two devastating blows, Hong Taiji suddenly died in the harem at Shengjing on the ninth day of the eighth month of the eighth year of Chongde (1643), at the age of 52.

Dorgon ascended the throne without dispute and led his troops to capture Beijing in 1644, becoming the first Qing emperor to enter the Central Plains.
