"Beloved" painting by Caroline Young

"Beloved" painting by Caroline Young (http://www.camerinoart.com)

This month’s theme at Unusual Historicals is scandal and I couldn’t resist writing Concubine Yang Yuhuan and her tragic love story. She’s one of my muses and she inspired the character of Lady Ling Suyin or Ling Guifei who’s one of two characters that span all three books.
