Step into the Forbidden City for one of history’s most extravagant weddings—worth an astonishing $1.8 billion in today’s money.
Empress Longyu, niece of the powerful Dowager Empress Cixi, married the Guangxu Emperor in a ceremony that dazzled the world.

This video uncovers:
• How political power—not love—chose the empress.
• Why the empire spent billions on a wedding while its navy and people starved.
• The cold, loveless reality behind the golden walls of the Forbidden City.
