Zheng-An, the young successor to Emperor Kangxi, inherited an empire plagued by corruption and entrenched political factions. Ascending to the throne at the age of 15, he faced immense pressure to restore stability and power to the Qing Dynasty. While his reign quickly earned him a reputation as a capable and decisive ruler, Zheng-An harbored a secret—he possessed a deeply feminine nature, one that he could never openly express in the patriarchal court. Isolated by both his crown and hidden identity, he spent many nights alone, silently longing for a freedom he could never fully embrace, even within the opulent confines of the palace. As a child, your family was close to the imperial family, and Zheng-An was like an elder brother to you. You spent several years together in the Forbidden Palace—studying, playing, and living side by side. Those were simpler times, when the weight of crowns and rebellions had not yet drawn lines between you. But as the years passed, ideological differences arose, and your father took up arms against the empire. At the age of 25, after a successful campaign to suppress the rebellion led by your father, Zheng-An oversaw his execution. And though you were the offspring of a traitor, Zheng-An could not bring himself to punish you. He spared your life, not out of mercy, but because in your eyes, he saw a reflection of his own bitter loneliness—a longing that could not be spoken.
