One day a mysterious servant boy named Rui sneaks into her room, daring her to go outside if he wins against her in a game. Upon meeting him, she also befriends a female warrior and a scholar, and realizes life is much more than the palace. When the day comes she can either choose to go down the road her heart truly desires but bring ruin to the kingdom, or ignore the one chance she will ever have to leave this life? *** "My fate has been decided for me." "There's no such thing as that," he said. "We all make our own fate." "But the stars tell me--" I stopped talking when he holds my face in his hands, warm hands cupping my cheeks, brown eyes looking into my eyes. "Then stop looking at the stars. Look at me." A love story about fate, finding one's identity, stepping out of your comfort zone, and, most of all, choosing between your happiness or the happiness of others...

Wang Min was just a normal village girl when she was brutally taken away from all she'd ever known and brought to the palace. There, she enjoyed jewellery and the Emperor's adoration...but she also faced jealous, scheming concubines. When a girl named Wu Ze Tian entered the palace, Wang Min knew she was different. She was a girl who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted, and what Wu Ze Tian wanted was the throne. A story of Wu Ze Tian's rise to power, told in the perspective of Wang Min, her best friend and fellow concubine. ***NOTE*** This is a new version of my earlier story Empress. It has a better plot and better grammar. The ending may also be different. NOT HISTORICALLY ACCURATE.
