"Why do I have to find an Empress if I can do handle it by myself?" For the nineteen girls, they have to take any opportunities to escape the life laid out for them. To be swept up in a world of glittering hanfus and priceless ornaments. To live in a palace and compete for the ice-cold heart of the eminent Emperor of the Empire. But for Lee Ryujin, she made such rash decisions that led her to a twisted battlefield, political rife among the concubines, underhanded schemes, and constant threat of usurpers. Then she meets the Emperor and the 3rd Prince. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself-and realizes that the life she's always planned may not compare to a future she never imagined. Furthermore, lurking in the shadows in the Empire was something far worse than she expected. A powerful foe that had been brewing their plans to end the Qing Dynasty. A fiend that would do every underhanded scheme just end the Imperial Bloodline. Will Ryujin swerve the path she intended to do and fall in love? Or will she wrap the Imperial Palace at her fingertips? Will she have the time and save the man and Empire she loves? Will she uncover the secrets of her Lover's and brother's assassination?
