Grand Musical "Sokyu no Subaru" -Asada Jiro Saku "Sokyu no Subaru" (Kodansha Bunko) yori-

[Machine Translation] You are destined to study hard, spread knowledge, and support the emperor. Liang Wenshiu, the second son of a landowner in Liangjiatun, was suddenly reminded of a prophecy he received from an old fortune teller in Tartary. He wonders if he really has such a gift. Soon after, Wenxiu passed the rigorous examination at the top of his class and found himself in the heart of Qing politics, whether he liked it or not. Wen Xu, who served under the Guangxu Emperor and was renowned as a brilliant reformer, and a young man from a very poor family, who had once been sworn in as a brother-in-law. His name was Li Chun-zhi. He, too, had a dream that an old fortune teller had told him that he would win a fortune in his hands, and he left his younger sister Ling Ling at home and went to the capital. Chunji eventually becomes a eunuch and rises to become a close associate of Empress Dowager Xi, who reigns over the Forbidden City. The Qing dynasty is in ruins. With the Western powers vying for control of the Forbidden City, Wen Xiu and his men are at the mercy of their own ambitions for power and their own fervent feelings of national melancholy.
