Bubu Jingxin (Chinese: 步步驚心), also known as Startling by Each Step or Scarlet Heart, is Tong Hua's debut novel. Originally serialized online in 2005 on Jinjiang Original Network (晉江原創網), it was published in multiple editions by Ocean Press (海洋出版社), National Press (民族出版社), Huashan Arts Press (花山文藝出版社), Hunan Literature and Art Publishing House (湖南文藝出版社), and Yeren Culture Publishing (野人文化出版社). Tong Hua revised the novel in 2009 and 2011. The latest edition contains an additional 30,000 word epilogue. The story features a twenty-first century woman who gets transported back in time to the late Kangxi reign of the Qing dynasty, where she becomes caught up in the succession struggle among the emperor’s nine sons. The novel was most prominently adapted into the Chinese television series Scarlet Heart, and was later also adapted into a radio drama, feature, film, stage play and a Korean drama.
