SILK DRAGON is a story of adventure on the high seas, fierce
battles with hostile kings and behind-the-scenes intrigue within
the royal court. It's a story of competition among royal
concubines, accumulation of fabulous riches and justice by the
sword. SILK DRAGON is also a love story. Zheng He's childhood
sweetheart, Xi Chen, is forced to become a lady-in-waiting to the
imperial court. She desperately loves Zheng He and has pledged
never to share herself with another man. But when Emperor Zhu Di
requests that Zheng He bring Xi Chen to his private quarters, the
faithful servant is forced to obey. Zheng He, Xi Chen and Emperor
Zhu Di share a relationship that is both tragic and beautiful. The
three are drawn together into a web of circumstance that is at the
very core of China's strength and weakness. SILK DRAGON is the
story of Zheng He, who, as a man of vision, satisfies the dreams of
his emperor, but cannot satisfy the dreams of his own heart. It's
the story of Xi Chen, the beautiful lady-in-waiting, who is torn
between the man she loves and the love she knows is demanded by
another man. And it's also the story of Zhu Di, the emperor who
tries to build a dynasty for China, but knows he may lose
everything he has ever tried to build because of his own traitorous
son.
