Features: This book selects twelve representative figures from the history of the Qing Dynasty's imperial palace. They either had a significant impact on the course of history or their legends have been remembered by later generations. In reality, these representative figures of the imperial harem were mostly "with a weak voice." Except for Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Empress Dowager Cixi, who once reached the pinnacle of power, the others were seen by later generations as mere footnotes to emperors and statesmen. Their deeds were so vague and fragmented. Yet, they were indeed the most prominent women of their time. The twelve women in this book had an impact on the Manchu Qing Dynasty no less than the "Twelve Emperors of the Qing Dynasty." Without them, the history of the Qing Dynasty would be incomplete. This book is not about dredging through historical records, but rather collecting important deeds, slightly organizing and commenting on them. Through this book, readers can accurately and quickly understand the imperial consorts of the Qing Dynasty, especially understanding the difficulties and limitations they faced in their own time, and see more of their "positive" sides.
