Emperor and the Endless Palace

In 18th-century Qing China, an innkeeper becomes entangled with a mysterious stranger; in Han dynasty imperial court, a palace clerk is drawn into a dangerous game of proximity to the emperor; and in contemporary Los Angeles, a closeted student finds himself pulled toward an artist he has never met. Across three eras, Justinian Huang weaves together stories of love that defy convention — one told through history, one through myth, and one through the present.
