| Summary | "A Diplomatic Woman" by Huan Mee is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows the adventures of a clever female protagonist deeply entrenched in the world of diplomacy, intrigue, and espionage, as she navigates complex relationships with powerful men and women. Central themes include ambition, mistaken identities, and the allure of power, as well as how personal relationships intertwine with political machinations. At the start of the story, the main character is depicted grappling with her desire for originality in her masquerade costume while preparing for a significant event—a mysterious masked ball. The scene rapidly evolves into a diplomatic discussion with Monsieur Roché, where they delve into matters that hint at espionage connected to a critical cipher, potentially compromised by a thief operating within their ranks. This exposes her to an intricate web of secrets that could have far-reaching implications for France’s relationship with Russia, setting the stage for both romantic and political intrigue in the chapters to come.
