I recommend the novel " Yuan Xuezhen " to you. The main character is a descendant of a family. She grew up quickly in the struggles of the officialdom. She experienced the loss of her mother, the decline of the family, conspiracies, separation from her loved ones, humiliation, imprisonment, confrontation with foreigners, and a series of things. She became a powerful woman. The story is dramatic and moving. You'll love it. I hope you like my recommendation.😗
