Synopsis

Kang Xi ascended the throne at age 8 after Shunzhi abdicated to become a monk following the death of his favorite concubine. With the help of Grand Empress Dowager Xiao Zhuang, Kang Xi overcame a fierce power struggle against Ao Bai and eventually took control of the country himself. Later he would defeat rebellious Ming generals, annex Taiwan, and pacify the Mongols. During his rule of 61 years, the longest in Chinese history, the country enjoyed unprecedented growth and prosperity. -- Lady Zhuge
