Book Description
A young lady from a wealthy family, who was originally dressed as Wuyou and led an extremely wealthy life, had a status worse than a servant precisely because she was born into a concubine. However, kind-hearted people would eventually meet someone rich, and when she went on a desperate path, she would meet him, a mysterious man. He really didn't hate her that much, but at least he really loved her. He was a Sovereign King, the greatest Sovereign King in all of history, and as his woman, he made her into someone below him. The Queen above everyone else, because of her beauty that could topple empires, and his kind heart, had ultimately decided not to kill off her entire family. Instead, she raised their position as a family member, and in the end, her family was rich beyond compare, and she lived her life blissfully, becoming the happiest queen in history!

A Book of Secrets
Author: Michael Holroyd
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1429969210
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
A Time Magazine Top 10 Nonfiction book of 2011 A Publishers Weekly Best Nonfiction title for 2011 On a hill above the Italian village of Ravello sits the Villa Cimbrone, a place of fantasy and make-believe. The characters that move through Michael Holroyd's new book are destined never to meet, yet the Villa Cimbrone unites them all. A Book of Secrets is a treasure trove of hidden lives, uncelebrated achievements, and family mysteries. With grace and tender imagination, Holroyd brings a company of unknown women into the light. From Alice Keppel, the mistress of both the second Lord Grimthorpe and the Prince of Wales; to Eve Fairfax, a muse of Auguste Rodin; to the novelist Violet Trefusis, the lover of Vita Sackville-West—these women are always on the periphery of the respectable world. Also on the margins is the elusive biographer, who on occasion turns an appraising eye upon himself as part of his investigations in the maze of biography. In A Book of Secrets, Holroyd gives voice to fragile human connections and the mystery of place.
