Chinese Cinderella: The Mystery of the Song Dynasty Painting is the seventh book made by the Chinese American author Adeline Yen Mah, also known for writing Chinese Cinderella and Falling Leaves both selling around one million dollars. This 2009 novel is the sequel to a fictitious story of the Chinese Cinderella and the Secret Dragon Society.

Summary

Chinese Cinderella ("CC") is being pursued by a mysterious woman wearing black when she falls. CC ends up in a hospital to recover from the fall and she sees a famous Chinese painting called Along The River at Qing Ming. She begins suffering from sudden and random bouts of unconsciousness where she is haunted by vivid dreams that seem very strange yet somehow very familiar. A tale and adventure emerges of friendship, wealth, poverty, eunuchs and an emperor who loved art. Chinese Cinderella recalls a life eight hundred years ago during the Song Dynasty.

CC was the daughter of a wealthy and influential man, but she finds herself drawn to a poor orphan boy with a startling ability to capture the beauty of the natural world. As the relationship between these two young people deepens, the transforming power of art and romantic love comes into conflict with the immovable rules of Chinese society.
