The Lady Elect: A Chinese Romance is a novel written by Norman Hinsdale Pitman and published in 1913. The story is set in China in the early 20th century and follows the life of a young Chinese woman named Ming-Y. Ming-Y is a member of a wealthy and influential family in China, and is known for her beauty and intelligence. However, she is also known for her strong-willed and independent nature, which often puts her at odds with the traditional values of her society.As the story unfolds, Ming-Y becomes embroiled in a complex web of relationships and intrigues, including a love triangle involving two men who are vying for her affections. One of these men is a wealthy and powerful merchant who represents the traditional values of Chinese society, while the other is a young revolutionary who is fighting for change and reform.Against this backdrop of political and social upheaval, Ming-Y must navigate her way through a series of challenges and obstacles, including betrayal, heartbreak, and danger. Along the way, she must also confront some of the most fundamental questions of human existence, including the nature of love, loyalty, and sacrifice.The Lady Elect: A Chinese Romance is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th century China.
