When the matchmaker came for a marriage proposal, she left behind a letter and began a journey of wandering alone.

Emperor Kangxi - Chaos Behind the Walls

This volume mainly depicts the power struggle among the various princes during Emperor Kangxi's later years, as he chooses his successor and crown prince. The later years of Kangxi's reign were plagued with corrupt officials, rampant greed, unjust cases, unequal land taxes, excessive centralization of land, widespread poverty among the people, and outbreaks of rebellions. The imperial family and old nobles borrowed from the national treasury, leading to its depletion. The princes coveted the throne and formed their own factions, engaging in treacherous behavior. Facing such a situation, Kangxi was exhausted and made multiple attempts to rectify the situation, but all were in vain because Crown Prince Yinre, indulging in lust and lacking political acumen, made misguided decisions. Frustrated and disappointed, Kangxi deposed Yinre. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, Yinre was reinstated, but was soon deposed again. The rise and fall of two crown princes caused a great stir in the court.

During this period of power struggle among the princes, Kangxi observed and evaluated them carefully.
