Synopsis
Although the Empress Dowager, , of the Qing Dynasty had promised her nephew, Emperor that he had complete autonomy, he found that this was not the case as he attempted to exert his authority over corrupt eunuchs and officials who undermined him with the backing of the Empress Dowager. Young, inexperienced and without a strong cadre of loyal officials to support him, he tried to juggle affairs both public and private. His loveless marriage and dislike of the Empress further left him all the more bereft of any power lever. His only bright spark in a cold gloomy palace was his love for a new concubine and a young eunuch who wholeheartedly supported him.
