In the capital of Luoyang, the daughters of Grand Chancellor Shangguan An each await their own glorious destinies. And by their side is their cousin, Fei Minxi, who observes the machinations of the nobles of the Dan Dynasty and the different fates of the three Shangguan daughters. - IT IS A plot that brings Fei Minxi to the imperial capital of Luoyang, into the arms of her proud and magnificent cousins. The Shangguan sisters are the staple of Luoyang's high society, the daughters of the dynasty's Grand Chancellor. No one shines as brightly as they. And by standing with them, Minxi is thrust into a world she is not prepared for, that she was never taught to be a part of. The sisters are all fascinating in their own rights. The eldest is Shangguan Yunhua, promised to be the future Empress since birth. The second, Shangguan Yunjun, a girl not of the courts but of the battlefield, the first female general of the dynasty. And the youngest, Shangguan Yunxuan, the picture of a perfect lady, the envy of all despite being the daughter of a concubine. And so Minxi watches. As she watches the battle of the heirs, watches Yunhua become the wife of the heir and then their Empress. Watches the Shangguan family claw their way to the top, as it all splinters apart. This is a story of glory, and how one family attempts to leave their name in the long river of history.

"And what if you, too, are unable to help?" Alice threw the question back. "What if helping would risk everything?" Spade didn't miss a beat. "You are everything." "Don't say things that you don't mean," Alice chided. "You'll leave a trail of broken hearts." "And would you believe me if I say that I have no intention of breaking yours?" Spade countered. "However, mine is yours to play with. Shatter it, fix it, do anything you desire. As long as it feels the warmth of your hand, I am content." *** Gifted a candle that was said to make wishes come true, Alice Clemente burned it to find herself awake in a different world. She had wished for a life of adventure away from the city and its routine. With her wish granted, she was no longer in the 21st century and was instead lost in the middle of the Kingdom of Gladiolum, a place reminiscent of the 1800s. With luck, she soon gained connections to the rich and powerful of this new world- the nobility. However, how much of it was good and how much of it would eventually be detrimental? After all, mingling with royals not only meant extravagance and daily parties. It also meant warfare and death. Caught in the middle of the two princes and other nobles, Alice would soon have to face the battle between those two royal brothers― a fight for the throne. She had wished for adventure, after all, and she received just as such. Kept in the center of all this, would Alice be able to emerge from the rabbit hole unscathed? Or will the overwhelming troubles of love and war be too much for her to bear? *** updating on webnovel
