The Fragrant Concubine is a wonderfully detailed historical novel set in China during the eighteenth century. It expertly blends fact and legend together to create a fascinating look at the court of the Qianlong Emperor through the eyes of a street girl who - due to the plotting of an obsessed noblewoman - becomes one of the most feted concubines in the Empire.

The character Princess Fragrance in Louis Cha 's wuxia novel The Book and the Sword is loosely based on the Fragrant Concubine narrative. The concubine also appeared as the character Han Xiang in the television series My Fair Princess, based on the novel with the same title authored by Chiung Yao.

The Chinese maintain that the "Fragrant Concubine" is mentioned in court records as the Muslim Consort Rong, whose Islamic grave was recently unearthed. The Uyghurs believe that Isparhan, as they call her, instead refused the advances of the Emperor and was put to death at a relatively early age.

Xiang Fei- better known as the Fragrant Concubine As Burhanad-Din’s control over Altishahr (southern Xinjijang) was eventually lost to the Qing conquest in 1755, the young concubine Xiang Fei (香妃) was stripped from her home and her husband.

There are many versions of the legend of the Fragrant Concubine. It is true that in 1760 the Chinese Emperor Qianlong conquered Turkestan and that a Muslim woman from that region was sent to the Forbidden City as his concubine. It seems she was something of a favourite, being promoted twice and given many gifts.

The story of one of Afaq Khoja’s descendants is told throughout China, the story of the Fragrant Concubine, a Uighur princess who was the best smelling woman in the world. According to the Chinese version, she was sent by her father to the emperor as a gift, washing in camel milk every morning.
