Synopsis: Da Yu’er is dubbed ‘the number one beauty’ among the Mongolians and Jurchens. She meets Dorgon, the fourteenth son of Khan Nurhaci, on the mound. It is love at first sight for both, but it is a love that is not to be. Dorgon’s half-brother, Hong Taiji, aims to take the throne of the khanate on the death of their father. He forces the Royal Concubine – Dorgon’s mother – to be buried with Nurhaci’s remains. Then Yu’er is told that Dorgon has died on an expedition. So she marries Hong Taiji as one of his many wives. On their wedding day, Dorgon returns, and is obviously injured. Now Yu’er sees through Hong Taiji as a cold and heartless man who has no love for his family. She visits Dorgon at night, and gives him a cut strand of her hair as a pledge of her love. On the political front, courtier Fan Wencheng proposes a scheme to Hong Taiji that frames Yuan Chonghuan, a General of the Ming court, resulting in Yuan’s death. As a result, the Ming regime loses Jinzhou to the Jins. Dorgon wins in the battle against the Ming army and seizes the imperial jade seal, which he brings back as he returns victorious to Hong Taiji’s court. Unfortunately, Hooge, Hong Taiji’s son, lies to his father that Dorgon is harbouring treacherous plans to seize the khanate and the seal is proof. Yu’er presents the jade seal just in time to clear Dorgon of his charge. Another crisis is overcome. On Hong Taiji’s sudden death, all the princes fight to be the new khan, with Dorgon and Hooge being the fiercest contenders. Daisan, Hong Taiji’s brother, proposes to Empress Jerjer to resolve the situation by putting Yu’er’s five-year-old son, Fulin, on the throne. Out of love for Yu’er and for the future of the Jin line, Dorgon helps Fulin to ascend the throne as the first emperor of Qing, while he himself becomes the regent. Yu’er becomes Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, mother of Emperor Shunzhi. The life story of Yu’er seems to follow the fortune as told by the lama monk she met on the grassland when she was very young. As for her love with Dorgon, the two have faced many vicissitudes along the way, but their feelings have remained true always.
