About this listen

Real Lives. Lost Voices. Hidden History.

What if the most powerful figures in ancient China were the ones you've never heard of?

When archaeologists uncovered the untouched tomb of Lady Fu Hao in 1976, they didn’t just find treasure, they found a story that rewrote history. She wasn’t just a queen. She was a fierce general, a high priestess, and a leader lost to time… until now.

Her story is just one of many that were buried—silenced by dust, politics, and centuries of forgotten memory. This audiobook brings those voices back.

Inside, you will discover:

A thriving desert kingdom that vanished without a trace.

The Xia dynasty, was it legend or something more?

Loyal warriors punished not for failure, but for politics.

A woman sentenced to die who rose to shape an empire.

The emperor’s male favorites and their quiet power behind the throne.

Star-crossed lovers whose heartbreak echoed through dynasties.

An alchemist’s deadly pursuit of eternal life.

The rise and tragic fall of Lady Qi, once the emperor’s favorite. And much, much more!

From exiled poets to fearless generals, this audiobook reveals the human stories behind China’s imperial grandeur, rich with ambition, betrayal, hope, and heartbreak.

If you’re drawn to hidden history, forbidden truths, or the emotional lives behind ancient power, this audiobook will change the way you see the past.

Uncover the untold side of history, one unforgettable story at a time.
