Features: The daughter of Hong Taiji married Wu Sangui's son Wu Yingxiong, demonstrating the Qing government's reliance on Han defectors. However, for the princess, it ultimately meant losing her husband and son, leading to a lonely old age. The daughter of Qianlong, Guren Huihao Princess, married Heshen's son Fengshenyinde. Though not politically motivated, the personality differences between the couple left her only with loneliness and isolation, eventually making her a victim of the conflict between Jiaqing and Heshen. Rongshou Guren Princess was originally the daughter of Prince Gong Yixu, but became the adopted daughter of Emperor Xianfeng, becoming the last princess of the Qing Dynasty. Based on historical records such as the Qing Annals, Qing archives, and personal notes of Qing people, this book focuses on the special female class of princesses. While describing the joys and sorrows, ups and downs of the lives of twelve Qing princesses, it also reveals the historical inevitability of the rise and fall of China's last feudal dynasty.
