Empire of Tears

China in the mid-19th century is torn by monstrous contradictions. The ruling dynasty of Manchurian usurpers basks in luxury, while the people starve, suffering from the extortion of corrupt officials. But foreign merchants have a free hand here: having addicted the country to opium, Europeans buy up ancient treasures for nothing. In the family of a simple calligrapher a boy named Moonstone grows up, who is destined for an unusual fate - he is the secret son of Emperor Daoguang. When a clan of powerful eunuchs begins a ruthless hunt for the young man, it unwittingly involves a variety of people: a dancer-acrobat, a rebellious Chinese prince, a young Englishwoman, the leader of the Taiping rebellion and many others.
