Description
Into China's Forbidden City in the last days of its imperial glory comes seventeen-year-old Tzu Hsi, known as Orchid. A minor concubine among hundreds of women vying to provide the Emperor an heir, Orchid takes matters into her own hands. Bribing her way into the royal bedchamber, she seduces the monarch, becoming his lover, the mother of his heir, the Empress, and, ultimately, the ruler of China.
