Features: Known as the "Empress Mother who Revived the Qing Dynasty," Empress Xiaozhuang (Dai Yuer) experienced three reigns—Tzuongzhi, Shizong, and Shengzu—during her lifetime. From a charming Mongol princess, she was thrust to the pinnacle of ruthless power by fate, and the rise or fall of the Great Qing lay in her hands. She was always at the center of a whirlwind of love, family, and power, enduring humiliation and hardship, holding the precarious situation together, and turning the tide with extraordinary wisdom and perseverance. She ultimately helped crown the young Xuanye as emperor, establishing the reign of Kangxi and laying the foundation for the Great Qing's golden age. Empress Xiaozhuang was not only a legendary great woman in history but also an ordinary woman filled with suffering. Behind her wise and decisive decisions lay a frail and sorrowful face. Her beloved husband, lover, and beloved son all succumbed to the madness of love. This book vividly and authentically recreates the legendary life of Empress Xiaozhuang.
