After the demise of the Qing dynasty, without the ruling class, those princes also lost their social status, just like ordinary people, but psychologically did not accept this fact. After all, the feudal dynasty has existed for thousands of years, and they thought it was just a change of dynasty. So their sense of superiority will not decrease. They still live a leisurely life and enjoy the services of the maids, but without financial resources, the days are getting tighter and tighter.

In the late Qing dynasty, the appearance of opium fascinated many princes, who were very curious about this western thing. Some princes couldn't control their desires, and kept smoking opium, resulting in little property left, so they began to sell valuable gold and silver jewelry and all kinds of jewelry, and they were unhappy all day, but they also lamented their bad luck and complained about their lives.

However, some princes are also very ambitious, learning from western culture, remolding outdated concepts, and constantly trying to save their own people and save them from the quagmire.
